The GCA Team

​

We are passionate about education and therefore invest in our team to ensure we provide the very best skillsets from our art team, qualified teachers, assessors, and on-going quality assurance checks.

 

Our classes remain small to ensure that every learner receives personalised learning to suit their individual needs and preferred learning style.

My story; Gina Conway

​

In my eyes the best way to grow my business is to build and nurture the talent within, thus ensuring that the Gina Conway vibe is present in each and every one of my staff. I decided to formalise this experience, and after much thought and research the Gina Conway Academy was born; my own scheme with a qualification at the end of the course, allowing apprentices to be qualified with an NVQ relative to our salons’ high standards.

​

Our commitment to integrating the 5-star experience through every aspect of the curriculum makes the training robust and the learners ready to do a good job as a true professional at the end of the program. The apprentices learn The Art of Colour, How to Retail, How to Build Your Column, Consultation Wheel of Excellence, and of course Haircutting for Success. 

​

My talented team of educators understands that investing in the next generation of hairdressers is key to business growth and loves passing on our knowledge to young, hungry apprentices.
