Education is at the heart of Simon Smith and is essential to the growth of our talent. Our team have all been personally mentored and trained by Simon and the team in the salon to continually develop them to achieve the highest standards in hairdressing.
We have successfully implemented the following training:
| Simon Smith Education Programme |
| This comprehensive programme offers a range of creative cutting, styling, colouring and long hair techniques. There are no course fees, and you will receive above Minimum Wage whilst you are training. |
|
| In House – Education Programmes |
In addition to hands on guidance, training and mentoring from Simon and the team, the salon has in-house Educators that ensure your education is of the highest level. Simon and the team work through the Education Programme to a very high standard and work to deliver your training in one year! With access to a professional Learning & Development company, it ensures we reach our Education objectives and gives us the option to train staff to become Simon Smith internal Educators.
“We are passionate that your time during your training is also “Salon” time, so our set-up allows you to work and train full-time in the salon to achieve the Simon Smith certification therefore, maximizing your time around clients and the team to fast track your learning.”
Carla McCourt, Chipping Norton Salon Manager / Head of Technical |

| Simon Smith Master Classes |
During your Simon Smith education, Simon himself will deliver Master Classes which are continued after completing your education to raise your techniques to the highest levels of hairdressing.
“It gives me great satisfaction to see others develop, and have the capacity to share my hairdressing knowledge and experience with my team, to encourage them to achieve a successful career path in hairdressing.” Simon Smith |

| Personal Development |
This unique approach has added another level of training you rarely see within this industry. From day one we have engaged in a professional Learning & Development Company offering one to one mentoring and coaching sessions to all team members, taking time to personally develop and professionally grow in a safe and confidential environment.
