Follow your passion for hairdressing with a qualification from TAFE SA. Our hairdressing courses will prepare you for life in a professional salon. You’ll master the foundational skills and learn the latest techniques in cutting, barbering, styling, perming, straightening, and colouring hair as you study in our well-equipped salons and work with real customers. Take your place as an apprentice and work towards being a hairdresser or barber and develop the skills you need to be self-employed and run your own business as a salon owner. Advanced skills on offer include complex colour correction, hair extensions, chemical reformation and trichology. 

Meet Ellyn from Blush Girl Salon

“Hairdressing was something I had wanted to pursue for years and studying at TAFE SA helped me turn that passion into a career.

The hands-on training gave me the opportunity to build my skills and confidence, while the support and encouragement from my lecturers helped me reach my full potential.

I’m now a qualified hairdresser working in the industry and I’m excited to keep developing my skills, continue my education and provide the best service I can for everyone who sits in my chair.”

Hudson Yeo, Owner of Kingston Barber Lounge

“Our business chose TAFE SA as training partner because the lecturers work closely with apprentices, giving them valuable hands-on experience with different clients and hair types. It’s a great pathway for them to develop their skills, complete their qualifications and bring that knowledge straight back into the barbershop. I’d definitely recommend TAFE SA to other employers looking to train their apprentices.”
