About Fresh Knowledge
Welcome to Fresh Knowledge, where innovation meets education in the world of hairstyling! Our journey began with a simple yet profound mission – to bridge the gap in hairdressing education and empower stylists to embrace the beauty of diversity. At Fresh Knowledge, we are committed to ensuring that no individual is turned away from a salon chair due to a lack of expertise in caring for Afro hair textures.
inspiration
Fresh Knowledge was born out of a realization that traditional hairdressing education often overlooks the intricacies of working with Afro hair. We believe that every stylist should have the skills and knowledge to cater to a diverse clientele, and our passion for inclusivity drives us to fill this educational void.
Our Courses
Fresh Knowledge offers a range of courses designed to equip stylists with the expertise needed to work confidently with Afro hair textures. Our flagship course is dedicated to educating hairstylists on the nuances of Afro haircare, providing in-depth insights and practical techniques. However, our commitment to education doesn't stop there. As we evolve, we plan to incorporate more education and class offerings from our team of talented stylists. Not all courses will pertain to Afro hair; instead, we aim to cover anything that can improve your skill set and further your career.
In this intensive 4-hour course, you will gain hands-on experience in performing a blowout and press on Afro-textured hair. Working on live models, participants will learn essential techniques for efficient sectioning, heat protection, and achieving sleek results. Tailored for stylists & hair school students, this course emphasizes practical skills and immediate application, providing the tools and confidence to deliver exceptional results in Afro hair styling.
“I am so happy I’ve taken this class!! Prior to taking this class I felt so lost when it came to working with Afros & other hair types (Youtube can only teach you so much!). The style services that we covered in the class as well as being able to work hands on with models, and having the 1 on 1 guidance from the instructors has given me a better understanding when it comes to the care and working with Afros/curly hair types.
I feel so much more confident in my skills!”
