HAIR ACADEMY

Historien bag den private frisørskole i Esbjerg

The history behind the private hair academy in Esbjerg

I 1986 åbnede frisørsalonen La Cour Coiffure på gågåden i Esbjerg. I løbet af salonens første 3 leveår voksede antallet af ansatte til 13 frisører, og sideløbende med blev La Cour Academy startet, som primært var en efteruddannelse på weekend-basis. Hér underviste vi både uddannede frisører, undervisere var landets tekniske skoler, mesterforeningen m.fl., og undervisningen foregik i både ind- og udland.

I 2003 blev La Cour Coiffure solgt, og drømmen om at starte en privat frisørskole blev en realitet. Der havde gennem mange år været stor efterspørgsel på frisører, men antallet af lærerpladser til at uddanne dem var og er stadig været stærkt faldende, da mange frisørmestre fravælger at tage elever i 4-årig mesterlære, oftest af økonomiske årsager.

Med åbningen af Hair Academy i februar 2006 blev det muligt at kreative ildsjæle alligevel kunne realisere deres drøm om at blive frisør. I dag er Hair Academy en privatejet frisørskole, som er beliggende i hjertet af Esbjerg. Hair Academy uddanner hårstylister på højt niveau, hvor de efter 18-24 intensive måneder er klar til at udleve deres drøm som frisører. Det er muligt at uddanne frisører på 18 - 24 måneder i stedet for den traditionelle 4-årige uddannelse som det offentlige tilbyder, grundet meget dygtige undervisere og dygtige, kreative elever. Hair Academy tilbyder en grundig, intensiv og spændende frisøruddannelse, hvor undervisernes store faglighed er med til at skabe fantastiske frisører. Der er ingen aldersbegrænsning for kreativ tænkning, og vi tilbyder derfor uddannelsen til såvel kvinder samt mænd i alderen 16 år til 55 år.

Eleverne på Hair Academy brænder virkelig for frisørfaget! Dette er med til at sikre, at vi udvikler talenter som vores fag har stor brug for, og ikke mindst sikrer uddannelsen, at eleverne er godt rustede til at varetage fremtidens kunder.

Det var og er stadig vores vision at skabe en anderledes og spændende uddannelse, hvor kreativitet og livsglæde er i fokus. Vi skaber frisører, der besidder stor glæde til deres fag, og dette kommer såvel kunden som frisøren selv til gode!

In 1986 the hair parlour La Cour Coiffure opened on the main street in Esbjerg. During the first three years the number of employed hairdressers grew to 13, and simultaneously La Cour Academy was established primarily with upgrade courses for professionals in the weekends. The Academy taught professional hairdressers, teachers from technical schools, the hairdressers association etc. and the classes took place both in Denmark and abroad.

In 2003 La Cour Coiffurre was sold and the dream of starting a private hair academy became a reality. Through many years the request for hairdressers had been increasing but the number of apprenticeships was and is still drastically falling because the many certified masters chooses not to take in students for 4 years of master apprenticeship, mainly due to economic reasons.

With the opening of Hair Academy in February 2006, it was made possible for many creative souls, to make their dream come true to become a hairdresser. Today Hair Academy is a private owned school located in the heart of Esbjerg. Hair Academy trains hairdresser/hairstylist on a very high level and after 13 intense months you will be ready to live out the dream of being a hairdresser/hairstylist.
