Located opposite the Casa de Cultura in Alfaz |
Val is the owner of the Imagine Hair & Beauty Salon based in Alfaz and mainly due to demand and continued requests decided upon opening a training academy here. Together with Sharon, who has over 30 years of hairdressing experience, they noticed a gap in the market for good quality training for would be hairdressers and also beauty therapists for English speakers. They are quite established in the UK, and Sharon should know as she has been running one in her native - South Shields (which is near Newcastle - I had to ask too!) for the last 15 years.

I spoke with some of the students to ask about their time at the academy. Two of the girls were mums who´s children had recently started school, so enabling them to do something which they had always wanted to do. But its not solely a woman´s terrain - there is also a young man among them! As one said, its a qualification and trade which I can take with me anywhere across the world.

Courses can be tailored to suit and they also offer refresher courses to those that just need their skills updated. Endevouring to address the high level of youth unemployment here in Spain they are planning on offering a Summer "taster course" in July and August, which will allow students to have a try without committing themselves. This is ideal for 16 year olds who maybe do not want to continue in higher education but are unsure exactly what they want to do - and lets face it, there isn´t that much opportunity here for them.
If you would like to book an appointment to be pampered at a budget price or are interested to find out more about the training courses then contact Val on 965 841 038.
