Richard John
The Academy
For over 35 years, Richard John has trained hundreds of young people to become exceptional stylists. In 2005, he fulfilled his dream of opening a dedicated academy to instil our salon‘s ethos of providing inspirational and creative styling, excellent customer service, and a supportive team.
At our purpose-built, independently run salon, apprentices receive hands-on training daily and have access to local transportation. We are proud to work with hairdressing employers and apprentices to maintain a high standard of training excellence.

Apprenticeships
Our comprehensive training programme has been developed to provide Hairdressing NVQ Level 2 and Level 3 Apprenticeships and private courses and is delivered by our qualified Assessors who supervise our assistants during an extensive course, giving expert advice and guidance.
An Apprenticeship is a work based training programme that allows students to ‘Earn as you Learn’ which takes approximately two years to complete. Apprentices work alongside highly skilled and qualified staff, attend our Academy one day per week to learn and work for the rest of the week in the principle salon. An apprenticeship is an opportunity to earn a wage and whilst developing future career opportunities.
Our excellent programme places emphasis on teaching methods that incorporate that crucial hands-on approach, so apprentices gain skills in a relatively short time.
Since opening, the Academy has gone from strength to strength, quickly achieving Approved City & Guilds Training Centre Status, and seeing many young stylists successfully obtaining their NVQ qualifications.
