testimonials

Here's what our members are saying:

In our industry we are very fortunate to have a multitude of platforms that offer education but the key is which platform are you going to get the real raw content that you can perform behind the chair. Essential Hair Academy has changed the game for an online platform that offers eduction to all levels of hairstylist while staying true to what the hair game is all about. With social media changing constantly they have created a perfect platform to catch all the haircut and coloring videos. They not only have their private Instagram but also a full service site with loads of weekly content that is continuously evolving . Tim and Tab are true artists! How they articulate their techniques through video is simple yet very effective. This is by far the first online education platform I have put into full effect behind the chair. Nothing is over complicated because they show you every approach on how to handle all different types of clients. It’s real, it’s raw and it’s an essential way of becoming a true master behind the chair.

- Nicole Resnick

Essential Hair Academy has opened up so many new possibilities for me when it comes to cutting & coloring in my career. Tim & Tab have done such an exceptional job with thoroughly explaining every single detail of what they’re doing, along with the why’s. The platform is so accessible and loaded with top quality content - I have learned so much from every single video.
