TRAIN AS A HAIRSTYLIST

ELLE Hair Academy trains new and working stylists in cutting, colour, and perm, with a Diploma in Hairdressing dual-certified by ELLE and L’Oréal Professionnel France.

The hairdressing course in JB, taught on a real salon floor.

ELLE Hair Academy runs Johor Bahru’s most hands-on hairdressing course, inside Midvalley Southkey JB, a real working salon in Mid Valley Southkey. Students train in small groups, on real clients and real technique, with a direct line into a paid salon apprenticeship.

what makes us different

Trained on the same standard as the salon floor

dual-award certification

The Diploma in Hairdressing is certified by both ELLE Hair Academy and L'Oréal Professionnel France, recognised standards for salon employers across Malaysia.

A pathway into paid work

Diploma students complete an 8-week salon apprenticeship with wages, a direct bridge from classroom to career.

Small-group, hands-on training

All classes run in small groups so instructors can give individual attention, not lecture-hall theory.

Courses for every stage

From a first-time Diploma student to a working stylist sharpening one skill, there is a course scoped to your level.
