Filling the gaps in hairdressing education

When it comes to Australian hairdressing education, our guest today is no stranger. A hairdresser, salon owner, published author, entrepreneur, and so the list goes on, Kylie Dwyer is a highly successful private educator and founder of Elite Hair Education, the Snipt App, and Elite Scissors. If we refer to her as an expert when it comes to all things hairdressing training, we're sure you'll agree!

Kylie's pathway from hairdresser to salon owner to educator is a progressive journey that came to fruition from a place of need. Having owned two salons with 25 staff for more than 20 years, Kylie has always been passionate about training, and proudly put more than 60 apprentices through their time during her salon days.

What she learnt being a business owner was that her apprentices enjoyed their time at TAFE and learnt a lot, however when they finished college, it was difficult to get them on the floor. So she created Elite Hair Education to fill those competency gaps that many salon owners find their staff lack when it comes to the transition from apprentice to productive qualified stylist.

Kylie's insight and perspective on hairdressing education is really interesting and she chats to Sandy Chong today about her journey and the constant evolution of her business offerings in the Australian training space.
