Our Story

Image London Academy was born inside a working salon — not a boardroom.

Since then, we’ve trained hundreds of students from all walks of life, helping them turn their passion into a profitable career.

  • 👩‍🏫 Real working stylists as trainers
  • 👩‍🎓 Small classes and personal support

  • 💸 Transparent pricing and flexible options
