Commitment To Education

Education is the basis of our lives. We learn how to do everything in this world, and our careers are no different. At Kiyo Academy, we take our craft seriously and continually strive to have the best skills in the industry. We have integrated education into our business model from day one; after all, education is the catalyst of growth. This specially developed program helps to build strong foundations for confidence behind the chair; from basic round and flat brush blowdries, to root applications and highlights, right up to advanced balayage.  

 

Academy Models Required

 

Get the look for less when you book an appointment with the Kiyo Academy! Our qualified hairdressers continually require a variety of models for haircuts & styling, contemporary colour and specialized services for our training sessions. Keep in mind, our discounted model bookings can typically be expected from August-October and January-March each year, as we coordinate our education programs to align when new talent stylists graduate from local programs.

(If you are interested in scheduling an appointment with us sooner, contact our front desk about arranging an appointment with one of our current New Talent Stylists!)

Bookings are essential and dependent on availability. Please be aware that model appointments may take between 1.5-2 hours (cut only) and 2-5 hours (colour) depending on the particular service. We encourage our students to take their time, ensuring an end result that is to the satisfaction of student, the educator, and you, our model. Please be mindful of this during your appointment and supportive of these students in their learning.
