Wella’s Scottish Studio has a fresh new home in Edinburgh College

Edinburgh College has been selected by Wella Professionals to become its training base for hairdressers across Scotland and Northern England. 

A new Wella Studio has opened at the College’s Granton Campus, which is the perfect inspiring hub for Wella students to learn new skills and push their hairdressing capabilities to the limit. The state of the art facilities offer a first-class educational experience in its new environment that has been designed all with the professional hairdresser in mind. This is yet another example underpinning Wella’s commitment to education and its belief that education sparks creativity and unleashes potential.

The new Scottish studio will deliver Wella’s exceptional portfolio of education courses, led by some of Wella’s most experienced guest educators and education team. Courses range from basic beginner level, through to advanced level, and include a diverse range of topics covering colour, cut and style, scalp care, business skills and learner and trainer education.    

Edinburgh College has a partnership with Wella that goes back 40 years. It is recognised as a Wella Centre of Excellence, which signifies the highest standard of training is being delivered to students, strengthening the links between industry and education.

The newly refurbished studio will host retraining and upskilling courses throughout the year for those working in industry. The salon features new styling chairs, basins, a demonstration space, and a product repository. In addition, a meeting space will be developed to allow visiting professionals to complete theory elements of their courses.

Ashley Bennett, Wella’s Scottish Area Sales and Education Manager said: “We’re delighted to open our new Wella Studio at Edinburgh College. It is fantastic to continue our long-standing working relationship with the College which we will use to continue to develop the skills of hairdressing professionals across Scotland and Northern England. 

“Our studios are at the heart of our educational offering and have been expertly designed to stimulate creativity and inspiration. We’re grateful to Edinburgh College for helping us to create a wonderful space for stylists up and down the country to perfect their skills and refresh their knowledge.”

Frances Bain, Head of School for Hairdressing, Barbering and Beauty Therapy said: “It’s fantastic that our college is the new home for Wella Education in Scotland. The new Wella Studio provides a perfect space for those in the industry to retrain and upskill.”
