Sassoon Connect Launches in the UK

Sassoon is proud to introduce Sassoon Connect to the UK, a groundbreaking global initiative designed to elevate hairdressing education in schools, colleges, and salons. This innovative program allows institutions to integrate Sassoon’s world-renowned training into their curriculum, providing students with a prestigious Sassoon qualification at an accessible cost.

Sassoon Connect is tailored to upskill educators, enhance training quality, and improve teacher retention. Schools and salons that enroll in the program can have up to eight teachers trained at a time, ensuring their educators are equipped with the highest standard of knowledge and techniques. 

The Sassoon ABC cutting, colouring, and barbering programs are available in three structured modules. Each module comes with a comprehensive manual, a student workbook, and digital content, allowing seamless integration into existing school curriculums. Teacher training follows a step-by-step, follow-along format, where each educator works with a mannequin and laptop while being guided live by a Sassoon educator.

Training schedules are designed to fit the needs of institutions, offering options such as 4 x Monday sessions, after-hours training, and weekend classes.

Already running in various parts of the world, Sassoon Connect is shaping the future of hair education by making elite training more accessible than ever. Schools, colleges, and salons looking to elevate their education standards and offer students the prestigious Sassoon qualification are encouraged to join this transformative program.

Sassoon Connect launched in the UK this month with West Suffolk College as the first FE College partner. “There are many positives to the Sassoon connection” says Karen Baldwin, Lecturer at the Hairdressing Eastern Education Group. “The Sassoon Connect Programme gives our Level 2 Hairdressing students the chance to train under a globally recognized brand, setting them apart in the industry with an additional Sassoon-certified qualification. By achieving a Sassoon Connect verified certificate alongside their Level 2 qualification, students will enhance their employability and open doors to career opportunities in prestigious salons.
