Become a Hair Model
We’re so happy to welcome you to our Hair Models community!
I created this group to give you the opportunity to enjoy professional hair services at a fraction of the usual salon price, while our Hair Academy students gain valuable real-life experience.
And please don’t worry about being a “model” — our students are never left to work alone. Every service is carefully guided and supervised by me from consultation through to the finished result, making sure the work is completed to the professional standard we expect at Art In London. 🤍
