Choose Your Study Pathway
Whether you're taking a single module or a full qualification, your enrolment begins with selecting your course. Once your deposit is processed, you’ll receive 12 months of online access to your chosen course or module.
Choose Your Payment Option
To keep things flexible, you can enrol in one of three ways:
Full Course (Deposit + Lessons): Includes your deposit and required in-person lessons. Training dates can be booked immediately.
Deposit Only: If you prefer to spread out payments, you can start with the course deposit. This secures your place and unlocks your 12 months of online learning. When you're ready, you can purchase your in-person lessons separately. These lessons are required for certification, and once paid, we’ll book your practical training schedule.
Lessons Only: If you’ve already paid your deposit, you can purchase the in-person lessons to begin your hands-on training with me.
Flexible Payment Methods
You can pay via website, bank transfer, or Afterpay.
I understand that paying everything upfront isn’t always possible. If you need a payment plan, just reach out - I’m happy to work with you to create something manageable so you can keep progressing.

Within 2 business days of enrolling, you will receive access to the online components of your course.

Book Your In-Person Lessons
As you move through your online learning, you’ll see prompts that say “It’s time to book a lesson.” These are your prepaid, in-person sessions with me at my home salon in Nelson. Other locations can be arranged, though extra fees may apply.
