Academy – The Don Hair

Welcome to The Don

Academy

My journey at The Don Hair has taught me that true success goes beyond just perfecting a craft—it’s about passing that knowledge forward. Through years of hands-on experience, I’ve discovered a passion for education, and with The Don Hair Academy, I’m extending that passion to others. The South African hair and wig industry lacks specialised training that focuses on delivering natural-looking, high-quality results. This gap has inspired me to create an academy that equips not just aspiring businesswomen but also individuals who want to master the skill of wig customisation, styling, and installation—whether for professional growth or personal use.

My mission is to empower anyone with a passion for hair, whether they dream of starting their own business or simply want to perfect their ability to style and install their own wigs with confidence. Through our masterclasses, one-on-one training, and mentorship, I aim to pass on the ethos of The Don Hair: not just providing great service and products but fostering a deep understanding of technique and a genuine connection with clients. The Academy is designed to help students refine their craft, gain confidence in their skills, and become part of a growing community dedicated to excellence in hair artistry.

The One-on-One Training is tailored to your individual needs and pace, providing a personalised, hands-on learning experience. Whether you’re looking to improve your wig styling, lace customisation, or installation skills for personal use or business, this class allows you to focus on your unique goals. It’s ideal for those who may prefer a slower pace or need more detailed attention. You’ll gain practical skills in customising wigs, making them look as natural as possible, and how to install them flawlessly. The One-on-One Training ensures that you leave with clear answers to all your questions and the confidence to style your wig with ease, whether you’re doing it for yourself at home or for your clients.

The Masterclass is an immersive, hands-on experience where you’ll learn lace customisation, styling, and installation over three action-packed days. With a group of 8-10 passionate individuals, you’ll not only learn from me, but also from your peers, as we dive into different techniques and approaches. The Masterclass is fast-paced and designed to cultivate a deeper understanding of hair techniques through shared experiences. It’s perfect for those looking to elevate their skill set, whether for personal use or to enhance their professional offerings. Everyone leaves with the confidence to style and install wigs on themselves or clients, no matter the level of expertise. This dynamic class is a great way to learn and connect with others who share your love for the craft.
