Leeds Academy For Hairdressing & Barbering leeds

i qualified late last year, staff were great and training was excellent they really help you a lot and work hard to make you the best barber (or hairdresser) and you can attend when you want. def recommended if you want to be good with hair

Great place to study, staff are friendly and extremely helpful, great for flexible learning, the staff do leave you alone at times to get on with your own work they have set you up with which is understandable as i didn't pay for one to one training! Fully enjoyed my time here, grateful for everyone at LAFHAB!

I started an NVQ course here late last year and to be honest I wish I hadn't, once they have your money they don't seem to care. Whilst the staff there are a good bunch they are woefully understaffed, so when we are in the classrooms or downstairs we often get left sometimes for quite a while with no one to check on us, its not the staff's fault it's just they are having to do so much. No one actually seemed to be in charge of training and hardly anyone had even seen the owner or 'centre manager' at any time while there so overall it appeared to be quite a badly run place with the owners not caring about any issues. To be honest I don't know how they are accredited? People did seem to get qualified sometimes but not through good staffing. If you may need any support then avoid this place and spend your money elsewhere. I hope the owners are embarrassed and care enough to sort the place out and staff it adequately but too late for me.

Did a taster day 2 weeks ago and decided to start the course very impressed with the information given to me on the day and the way the course is set out for me to be able to have flexible learning

The best training providers I’ve ever had the pleasure of studying at. LAFHAB go above and beyond with everything, I have dyslexia and they provided everything I needed at no extra cost to myself, they allowed me to work around my full time job and children. I paid to be taught how to be a barber not for one to one lessons as people have previously complained about. The owners at LAFHAB resolved every hurdle I had and any problem I had in my personal life they helped to support me to still continue my training. The staff go above and beyond and a special thank you to Keith, Pariss, Glen, Elaine, Kim, Lou and Leslie. Without there help and support I would not have qualified, they do not just tick boxes as many other colleges do, they teach you everything you need to know and my new job couldn’t believe the experience I had having only just qualified. The barbers downstairs gives you great experience and gets you completely job ready, my new job said everyone they’ve had on a trade test from LAFHAB are always amazing and know 100% what they’re doing. A real sound investment for a change in career and a real gem of the barbering world. If you’re wanting a change in career no matter your age these are the guys! They teach you like adults and not children and the staff value you being there. I couldn’t recommend them enough! Thanks to all @ LAFHAB it’s been a pleasure.

In total it took me 34 days to pass my NVQ level 2 in barbering. I didn’t think I’m a million years I’d take to it like I did. The atmosphere, staff and students where just 10/10. Very hands on learning, full of support and offer additional day courses with Wahl with it being a Wahl centre of excellence. The tutors have years of experience and that really showed. Level 3 here I come!

Today Emilia was my hairdresser who did fantastic job of my hair colour and highlights. I'd highly recommend Emilia !

Did my NVQ level 2 in hairdressing and barbering here, the tutors were very approachable and friendly plus with the course been flexible it suited me as I could attend around my part time job. On a bonus the course price was a lot more competitive than elsewhere, would definitely recommend training here! Plus having a salon and barbers attached you gain the relevant “shop floor” experience which you don’t gain from other courses elsewhere.

If you require the right training to become a barber or hairdresser then this is the place that will get you where you need to be. It took me 56 days to qualify as a barber and leaving with a NVQ Level 2. All the trainers are excellent at getting the information over to the student to progress to the next level. Though Am at the start of my new career and there is still much more to learn about the business, I left feeling confident that I knew enough to go it alone. Thanks to everyone who helped me succeed especially Katie and Lou

I researched this place for my partner, I’ve been in the hairdressing industry for over 27 years, I wanted my partner to join me as a fully qualified barber. We both went on the taster day and met Katie who was extremely helpful and talk us through the process so we were happy to sign up, 3 months later my partner had qualified as a barber with his NVQ 2.
