Anne is now taking hairdressing training bookings for autumn/winter 2025/26 so we thought we’d share an excerpt from one of her recent award entries! Call her on 07525498903 or email anne@anneveckhair.com for more info and hurry, Mondays are starting to be booked already.
“My passion is sharing my skills and creativity with my peers and inspiring the next generation of hairdressers to succeed. Continuous education is essential in order to grow professionally and to maintain and improve standards.
I work 2 days each week on the floor at Kelly’s Hair Oxford.and from time to time at leading black hair salon SG Hair in Birmingham. As a result, my teaching is grounded in practical salon experience to help participants motivate their teams, retain more clients and increase sales. This business benefit aspect is essential to ensure my education customers receive value for money.
Just because you are an expert doesn’t mean you are a good teacher. So to ensure that I am a credible and effective educator, I studied for the HABC Level 3 Award in Education and Training, which I achieved in 2016.
I believe that students learn best when taught in a method appropriate for their learning style. My experience backs this up. Therefore I provide a range of education, including workshops, seminars, one to one training, mentoring, on line lessons and written material.
WHAT I TEACH
I enjoy teaching at all levels, particularly the basics. A strong understanding of theory is fundamental for any aspiring hairdresser. Both cutting, styling and colour are subjective experiences, so mastering the rules is crucial before breaking them. My education brochure features the following subjects as a guide to prospective customers:
The Perfect Consultation, Bridal Hair Styling, The Perfect Blow-dry, Vintage Essentials, Braiding and Knotting, Colour Correction, Perming: A Modern Guide, Foundation Cutting, Progressive Cutting, Afro for Beginners, Curl Lab, Sustainable Hairdressing and Avant-garde behind the Scenes.
I also offer mentoring to salon owners. At the moment I’m working with two of my former salon managers, now salon owners and have participated in Creative HEAD’s Activator programme since it started.
WHO I TEACH
I teach in the U.K. and Europe with occasional forays further afield and I work in English or French. My main target audience is groups rather than individual hairdressers, so I work with salons, academies, wholesalers and brands. Generally I go to them although I also welcome groups to the Anne Veck Academy at one of my old salons, now Edith et Moi. My current portfolio of clients includes Kelly’s Hair Oxford; Edith et Moi Bicester; Boutique Hair & Beauty Oxford; Freelance Hairdressers Association; Davines Italy; Davines France; Davines UK, Y-Coiffure salons Paris, Maison de la Coiffure, Auxerrre and Limoges and le Centre de Formation d’Apprentis in La Reunion.
I also enjoy the challenge of attracting and keeping an audience for demonstrations at trade events such as Salon International, HairCon and Colour World.”
And here is just one of many testimonials from one of Anne’s regular customers:
Anne was fantastic, I’ve learned so much. She’s so knowledgeable, approachable and passionate about textured hair. The course was delivered in a very relaxed but structured way, building up foundation as the hair structure which helped me to understand how curly hair reacts to chemicals. Also how textured hair needs to be cared and loved. There were different levels of knowledge through the team and she responded to each individual need, with enthusiasm, respect and patience. I’m confident that everyone gained from this training. Tia Jacobs, Owner, Edith et Moi May 2025.
