FAQs

When can I visit the academy as a model?

Appointments are available from Monday to Thursday and are usually offered at our Clapton salon, where our academy is located. 

Who will provide my service?

Our students have varying levels of experience but their training is supervised at every stage. During your visit, your stylist will be mentored by an experienced educator who is likely to approach them offering guidance and may intervene at times. We also seek demo models, exclusively attended to by our educators, to showcase various techniques.

Can I request a specific service?

We offer comprehensive training covering various cutting, colouring and styling techniques, including creative styles. When making a booking, you have the option to indicate your desired look or service. However, please keep in mind that you may only be contacted if a student is focusing on the specific style or colour you’ve requested.

How long will my appointment take?

Your appointment may take longer than an average salon service, as they are carried out in an educational environment. Please allow enough time for your appointment.

Do I need an allergy test for a colour service?

As within our salons, colour services require a valid allergy test that will need to be issued at least 48 hours ahead of your appointment. You will not need to do so if you have attended a colour service or had an allergy test at our Blue Tit salons/academy within 6 months. If you are unable to come in for your test by our 48-hour cut-off point, your appointment will be cancelled. 

Can I cancel if I need to?

Should you need to cancel an appointment we ask that you give us at least 48 hours’ notice so we can rearrange or offer the spot to another model.

What happens if I am unhappy with the results of my service?

Our students and educators will do all they can to ensure you are happy with the results of your service, however, if any adjustments need to be made we will organise a complimentary service in our academy. Please note, we are unable to offer academy clients refunds or redo services in our salons.

Will my image be used on social media?

We may ask permission to take photos during your visit and to share these images on our social media platforms for educational purposes.
