This one is for you, not your parents

If someone has shown you this page, they think you might like it. Here is what actually happens, with nothing dressed up.

You do not have to be on camera

Live sessions are on Google Meet. You can keep your camera off and your microphone muted and type in the chat instead. Nobody will ask you why, and nobody will put you on the spot.

If you miss a session, it is recorded. You can watch it later and catch up without having to explain yourself.

Where it goes

A year from now

You will have a portfolio of work you filmed yourself, a certificate from KINGS, and a set of skills people pay for.

Plenty of our learners go on to take a VTCT qualification at the Queensferry academy. Some go into a salon as an apprentice. Some just find out they are good at something, which is not a small thing.

Salon assistant

Working alongside stylists, learning on the floor.

VTCT NVQ or VRQ

The recognised route into hairdressing or beauty therapy.
