What Equipment and Tools Do You Get Access to as a Student?
When stepping into the world of hairdressing, one of the first things aspiring stylists wonder is, “What tools will I learn to use?” Hairdressing isn’t just about talent—it’s about technique, precision, and understanding the instruments that bring creative visions to life. At Hair Art Academy, we believe that students deserve access to professional-grade equipment from day one. Our goal is to make sure that you graduate not only with the skills but with the confidence to walk into any salon and thrive.
Whether you’re perfecting the classic bob, experimenting with vibrant color, or mastering updos for special events, your tools become an extension of your creativity. Let’s break down the essential equipment you’ll work with at Hair Art Academy and how each one prepares you for the demands of a real-world salon.
1. A Fully Stocked Student Kit
From the start of your training, you’ll be provided with a professional student kit packed with salon-quality tools.
This kit includes essentials like scissors, combs, brushes, sectioning clips, and water spray bottles.
You’ll also receive heat styling tools such as a blow dryer, flat iron, and curling iron.
Every tool is chosen for durability and relevance—so you’ll be using what the pros use, not plastic knock-offs.
Having the right gear at your fingertips helps build confidence and ensures consistency during your practice sessions.
2. Salon-Grade Styling Tools
Hair Art Academy is equipped with industry-standard salon equipment that mirrors what you’ll find in high-end salons.
Students learn with ergonomic blow dryers, professional flat irons, curling wands, and diffusers.
These tools allow you to experiment with different hair types and textures, preparing you for a wide range of clients.
You’ll also become skilled in safe handling, maintenance, and cleaning protocols.
This hands-on exposure ensures that you won’t be intimidated by professional tools once you graduate—you’ll already know your way around them.
3. Color and Chemical Application Tools
Hair coloring and chemical treatments are a major part of salon services, so it’s crucial that students have full access to proper tools.
You’ll be trained using tint bowls, brushes, applicator bottles, foils, and hair caps.
Students also learn how to use measuring scales for precision when mixing color or developer.
You’ll gain experience working with bleach, toner, developer levels, and bond-builders under the supervision of licensed instructors.
Learning the art of chemical services with real tools helps you build confidence in high-stakes services.
4. Mannequin Heads and Live Models
While tools matter, practice is what makes a stylist confident—and we provide you with both mannequins and opportunities to work with real people.
Every student receives a high-quality mannequin head (or several) with natural or synthetic hair.
These mannequins are used to practice cutting, styling, coloring, and more in the early phases of training.
As your skills progress, you’ll work on live models, using your full kit to simulate real salon experiences.
This transition from mannequin to client helps you sharpen your skills in a safe and supportive environment.
5. Backbar and Professional Product Stations
Hair Art Academy doesn’t just give you access to tools—we provide a full salon experience with branded backbar stations and hair care products.
You’ll use professional shampoos, conditioners, treatments, and styling products from top industry brands.
Learning how to pair the right product with the right hair type is part of your education.
You’ll gain real-world experience managing a service from consultation through to the finished look.
Working with these resources teaches you to make informed decisions and elevate your service quality.
6. Tools for Success Beyond the Chair
Our training goes beyond just hair tools—we also prepare you with tools for career readiness.
You’ll get access to digital tools, appointment booking software, and client consultation forms.
We provide training in photography for showcasing your work online and building your portfolio.
Students are encouraged to treat their work like a business from the beginning, giving them a head start on professional development.
At Hair Art Academy, we believe you should graduate as a skilled stylist and a confident beauty professional.
