At Blue Tit, we believe that in the world of hair, knowledge is power. We have a passion to share that knowledge, which is why we decided to create the best hair academy in London.
Courses
The best hair academy in London is here to take you to the next level. Our objective is to train you in a calming environment with no complacency. We are very attentive in our training and want you to not only excel in the relevant, modern techniques and our forward-thinking approach but to inspire you creatively through our devotion and culture. Our friends at Hairtribe also have a range of professional hairdressing tutorials online to give you inspiration before starting one of our courses.

CUT THE BLUE TIT CLASSICS
Our foundation is broken down into three primary shapes: circle, triangle and square. These are combined with three techniques: line, layers and graduation, to create our 9 Blue Tit classic haircuts through our hairstyle courses in London.
The Blue Tit salon foundation course will teach you the dynamics of these shapes and allow you to excel in the basic fundamentals of cutting hair. Ultimately, this gives you the knowledge and skills that will allow you to progress in your craft.
Our teaching is based on our understanding of being logical with the hair. We don’t just want to show you what shapes to do, we want to show you our logic in tailor making the shape. This enables you to make the right decisions for your shape and ultimately the client.

CREATIVE REALITY
After understanding the fundamentals, it is important to progress within your craft and continue to understand new shapes and techniques.
The Blue Tit creative course focuses on advanced techniques to create creative hair cuts that are actually wearable and convertible in your day to day salon life.
This is led by a focus on style and facial features, creating unique haircuts by combining shapes that enhance rather than detract from the whole look.
