Gone are the days that you have to first complete 3 full years of study and not even be able to hold a scissor (yes, we've experienced this so many times when learners apply to work in our salon).

Stop wasting your time learning how to do fingerwaves or anything that is irrelevant for your career and is not ever requested by the frequent salon client.

This is your chance to make a decision to become a successful well paid stylist in a progressive role that will start earning your money back after the first year of the course. 

 

How is this course different:

  • This course is based on the current trends in cutting and coloring hair. It is designed to prepare students to become successful hairdressers using step by step videos and a lot of practical work. It has been tested and proven to create top stylists who has gone on to win hairdressing competitions and have their columns fully booked which means they earn very good salaries.
  • The course is now accredited for the added benefit. Our previous course was not accredited on purpose because the accreditation forces us to do a lot of theory and less practical work. As we all know, hairdressing is a hands-on job and after many years of trial and error, we decided to create a course that guarantees the results. That is why we offer a MONEY BACK GUARANTEE: if you successfully pass the course but you still can't cut, color and blowdry hair we offer your money back. That is how much we trust in this course. We constantly have job interviews with candidates that spent 1-3 years in hairdressing colleges or academies and they can't even hold the scissors right. You now have the added benefit of the accreditation. 
  • After 1 year of practical and theoretical training, students will be required to work in the salon for workplace experience for 6 months, while they will be paid.
  • After the 1 year, students will be offered a job as a Junior Stylist in one of the Excentric Salons.*

Our Team

Hey guys! I'm Flo!


Hey, it is my pleasure to virtually meet you!  I started my career in 2007 in Romania. Being very passionate about the science behind the hair and the techniques that define perfection with precision, I attended over 30 international seminars. Some of them were in London, at Vidal Sassoon Academy, and these ones changed my approach towards cutting hair, understanding what a good haircut really means and cutting hair becoming my passion and obsession.

When I came to Cape Town, I fell in love with the mother city and decided to call it home. In my first year as hairstylist in SA I managed to achieve second place in Wella Trend Vision and soon after that I obtained the Master Colorist Certificate with gold, which opened a new opportunity for me to become a guest educator for Wella in South Africa. In 2014, my wife and I started Excentric Cape Town with one big goal : create the best hair salon in Cape Town with the best hairstylists. With that in mind, I created an internal training program for all our stylists, sharing my knowledge while also gaining more. This helped us bring some trophies for the brand: two times Gold trophy and one Silver for Wella Trend Vision Award, and one Gold for Redken Artists. This proved to us that our training is very effective and I started to put even more effort in perfecting the Excentric Education by creating Excentricademy, which is an intense crash course that enables ANYONE to become a successful hairdresser and even to win hairdressing awards.  So it would be my pleasure to guide you through the journey of becoming a SUPER STYLIST.

Reviews

95% of clients who have reviewed their Excentric Experience rated us as 5 star!

My journey with Excentric started in 2017 where I came from working onboard cruises gaining amazing experience. I went back to basics knowing I would sacrifice a bit but I knew more was available for me. I therebefore even after completion and being qualified in my studies did the 1 year in salon training course offered by Excentric to advance my skill and work hard to become the best version of myself and the best Stylist I could possibly be. I've now successfully completed my full advanced in salon training program at Excentric trained by Flo and have been awarded a Stylist position. I have recently completed my Trade Test and met all our criteria in our growth journey and have earned the Senior stylist position. I continued putting everything and maximizing my skills in all hair types and techniques so I am able to perform all hair services. As I went onto my personal natural hair journey and was inspired by the beautiful crowns I saw I developed a special love for Curly hair. I then found all the information and research I could on Curly hair and studied it inside and out, applying it to my own journey as well. I am now the Curlygirl Specialist, Senior Stylist and am blessed to be booked with beautiful clients in my chair everyday. It has been a great journey and I am excited to have many more visions come to life by giving my 100% to every client sitting in my chair.ROSADAH MAART, Senior Superstylist and Curlygirl Specialist at Excentric on kloof
