What makes this different
01
Progression that never stops.
Learning doesn't end with completion. The curriculum continues to evolve, giving professionals new knowledge, new skills, and new challenges throughout their career.
02
Practice that's actually evaluated.
Watching is only the beginning. Progress is earned through practical work, evaluation from a real educator, and continuous refinement of your craft.
03
People, not just a screen.
Technology delivers the lessons. You're never working through them alone — professionals everywhere are learning the same craft, at the same time.
The academy
An academy for the craft. Now in your pocket.
ALC Education is the ongoing academy for professional hairdressers. Learn through structured courses, practical evaluation, and direct educator support — designed to help you build a stronger career.
Available wherever your craft takes you. On your schedule. In your language.
Courses
Two crafts. One standard.
Every course follows a structured path, built chapter by chapter, refined through practice, and expanded with every new release.
Live

The Colour Course
Understand the science, technique, and artistry behind modern colour.
An ongoing course
The craft doesn’t have a finish line.
The Cutting Course is designed to grow with the profession. As techniques evolve, so does your learning — with new chapters, specialisations, and deeper studies added throughout the year.
One subscription. A course that never stands still.
Inside the course
What you’ll actually do.
Your timeline
A visual map of the craft.
Every lesson builds on the last — a structured path where your practical work earns real recognition, and each stage unlocks what's next.
The lesson player
Watch it. Then see it from every angle.
Every lesson pairs video with a 3D headsheet, a cutting position indicator, and a running technique history you can rewind as many times as you need. One-to-one attention, without the clock running.
“Clean guideline at the nape. Watch the over-direction on the right side — your weight is sitting a touch high.”
— Luca, Senior Educator · ALC Education
Practice that gets graded
Your work. Evaluated by educators.
Upload photos and video of your practical work. Every submission is reviewed by an experienced educator, who scores your technique, annotates individual images, and provides written feedback. No automatic completion. Just professional evaluation.
“When I elevate the section, should I keep my fingers parallel to the floor or to the head shape?”
“To the head shape on a round layer — parallel to the floor will flatten your crown. Send a photo of your next pass and I’ll check the angle.”
— Adriano, Senior Educator · ALC Education
Raise a hand
A teacher, when it matters.
Questions shouldn't wait weeks for an answer. Raise your hand from inside any lesson — a named educator replies personally, usually within 24 hours.

From the floor
What salons say.
My new hires reach the same standard months faster. The evaluations are the difference.
Owner · Bishop & Finch, London
It's the first thing I've found that teaches technique instead of just showing it.
Stylist · Marlowe Hair Co., Dallas
Having a teacher reply, signed, by the next day changed how my team learns.

Questions
Asked and answered.
How does practice evaluation work?
You upload photos and video of your work. An educator grades your technique with stars, a written note, and per-photo feedback — then you can resubmit.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Monthly plans cancel at the end of the billing period; annual plans run to the end of the year you paid for. Your access stays active until then.
What devices does it work on?
iOS, Android, and the web. One subscription covers every device — pick up on one and finish on another.
How do new chapters work — do I pay extra?
No. New chapters arrive each season and your subscription unlocks the craft as it grows. There's nothing more to buy.
How do team plans work for salons?
A Salon plan covers 3 to 100 seats on one subscription. Assign courses to members, track progress across your floor, and add seats as your team grows.
When does the Colour Course arrive?
The Colour Course is coming next. The Cutting Course is live now, with ten chapters and more arriving each season.
Are you accepting school partnerships?
Yes. We partner with hairdressing schools, training academies, and in-house education teams. Talk to us about deploying the curriculum to your students.
