Inspirational Education

Cutting Edge Kreativ was set up in 2009 to create a centre for hair fashion, here in the North West. We now work with top industry professionals in providing inspirational, professional Education and Hair Fashion Imagery for Salons, Barbers, Freelance mobile stylists and Hair & Beauty Colleges at a reasonable cost.

Our Educational workshops feature Artistic, Technique, Salon Skills and Showcase elements, so we have something for all professional salons who wish to keep abreast of the latest techniques and who wish to ensure that they are offering their clients the very best salon experience.

We can arrange for our Educators to visit your Salon, if preferred, or alternatively, we have access to professional Academies in both Preston and Rochdale for salon teams and larger groups.

Given the current economic environment, we feel the salons & stylists who will prosper, will be the ones that go that extra mile to offer something different, provide a total client experience (to both sexes in the case of ‘unisex’ salons), reward their loyal clients and who are passionate about hairstyling.
