Q: How can I become a good hairstylist?
A: You’d need to enjoy interacting with people, have a keen sense of current fashion trends, and be willing to share beautiful things. The fashion industry never stops growing, and you’d need to stay passionate about learning new things.
Q: How long does it take to become a hairstylist?
A: Nowadays, the hairdressing industry has clear specializations. From women’s salons focusing on perms and dyes to barbershops seeking slick styles, you can choose the area that interests you. This has shortened the training time for a professional hairstylist. Generally, the whole process takes 1-2 years.

A: Don’t worry about it. New tools are always releasing in the market. Our courses start with the fundamental and cost-effective ones, allowing you to gradually gather the tools as you progress. You can also consult our faculty to enrich your toolkit after joining our courses.
Q: What job opportunities or career choices can I have after graduating from your hairstyling program?
A: Besides working as a hairstylist in salons, there are opportunities as hair colorists, hair perm technicians, men’s barbers, behind-the-scenes stylists for film and television, bridal assistants, and in recent years, a growing demand for scalp care therapists. Eventually, you could also become a salon owner or manager in the long run.
Q: How is learning at school different from training at a salon directly?
A: In Taiwan, beauty salons are abundant, even more so than convenience stores. Not every salon has sufficient educational resources, and their primary goal is profit, which can slow down the learning process. In schools, the curriculum is comprehensive, and mentors in various fields are available for guidance and support. Schools also assist in obtaining certifications, expanding your career possibilities in Taiwan and even the global market.
