No experience is necessary to participate in our hairstyling program for makeup artists at our New York City, NYC, or Philadelphia campuses. Our hairstyling courses for beginners will cover the basics of hair before moving on to the specifics of fashion, wedding, and everyday hairstyles. With this solid foundation in hair, you will be able to personalize every style that will suit your client best.

No two clients are the same, which means the same hairstyles and techniques will not work for everyone. For this reason, it’s essential to take personal hairstyling classes for makeup artists to learn which styles work best for different clients in various situations. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to identify when a Dutch braid is needed and when a modern or period style is called for.

 

After class one day, you may decide to learn more about adding hair extensions or doing high fashion updos. Whatever it is you would like to dive more deeply into, you will enjoy our private hairstyling lessons for MUAs tailored to your specific hairstyling needs.
