Salon open evening next Tuesday night!
All salon owners and potential students welcome to come along and see the academy, find out what we offer and why we could be a perfect alternative to college for your apprentice to complete their qualifications.
Anyone interested in becoming a hairdresser also welcome to come and we can hopefully help find you a salon to start your hairdressing career or tell you more about the private training we can offer.
This would also be a great time for any employers we already work with to pop along and see the academy and show the students support π

Our Level 6 Students are organising events in the academy as part of their qualification. The first event will be held on Monday 15th August from 5pm-7pm.
Everyone is welcome to come along to this one and see the students work and see what services they offer! They are ALWAYS looking for models so we would love you to come along enjoy some FREE treatments and maybe even join our model list.
The girls will be offering free conditioning and mini Olaplex treatments, blowdrys, braiding and styling on the night.
Save the date, pop in and see us. We would love to see you and I know the students would appreciate the support π

ALBA COVID-19 UPDATE
As per the email sent to students and salons last week, due to the coronavirus pandemic it is with great sadness that the training Academy will remain closed until we receive any further instructions.
We have tried extremely hard to ensure everyone has been contacted and encourage you to look out for any updates on this page. Please also keep in touch through the salon owner and student group chats.
We are heartbroken that all salons will also now be closed and the devastating effect this will have for all concerned. We will keep you informed of any help or support from Skills Development Scotland and SQA.
We thank you all for your support over the last few years and look forward to seeing you all flourish when the COVID-19 passes.
Keep safe and healthy everyone.
