BEGINNER FOILING MISTAKE ❌
Working from the bottom section when placing your weave in foils is not the correct technique; it can affect your control and placement ⤵️
Instead, work from the top section, to maintain a clean and even colour - this will result in a more precise finish
Strong results always come from strong fundamentals 🙌

Strong hairdressing comes down to one thing - training
When the fundamentals aren’t taught correctly, it always shows in the work - clear demonstration, correct technique, & repetition are what build real skill, not just qualifications
Train with us and benefit from over 100 years of combined industry experience ✂️

Knowledge is power 🎓
The more you understand your craft, the more confident you become - our educators demonstrate every technique step by step, then allow you to practise it independently in a supported environment 🙌
You’re guided throughout, while also encouraged to think for yourself & develop real independence as a hairdresser
This balance of demonstration, practice, & guidance helps you build confidence, refine your technique, and grow into a skilled professional ✂️

Many beginner hairdressers - and even qualified hairdressers - reach a point where they’re ready to upskill, but struggle to find regular models to practise on ↓
At Nicky Oliver Academy, we bridge that gap by providing structured, real-salon model opportunities so you can gain consistent hands-on experience and build real confidence behind the chair
Real practice. Real progression. 🙌

A common mistake beginners make is holding hairdressing scissors like household scissors ✂️
Professional scissors should be guided by your thumb & ring finger, allowing for better control, smoother movement, & improved cutting precision
Correct scissor grip helps reduce tension in the wrist and gives you more control whether you’re cutting one length, layers, or adding texture ✅
Small technique changes make a big difference
