We’ve launched an academy with Mukhair UK

World-renowned hairdressing product supplier Mukhair UK have teamed up with us to form their first ever academy outside of their Coventry base.

Mukhair UK is the sole distributor of Muk hair products for the UK and stock hundreds of hairdressers and barbers across the country. The international Muk brand is used in thousands of salons worldwide.

“Partnering with MUK Hair Academy not only enhances the professional training of our hairdressing students but also gives them a direct path into the industry with hands-on, real-world experience.”

The new academy will see our Hairdressing students given opportunities to learn from Muk trainers and to become experienced Muk product users throughout their courses.

Education Manager and Hairdresser at Mukhair UK, Kate Lewis, said: “For us this partnership is all about working with the next generation of hairdressers, it’s about getting the brand out there and making sure that we’re giving back to the newcomers in our industry.

“We pride ourselves on what we do. We pride ourselves on education and we pride ourselves on making sure that we’re giving the best that we can. We’re an up and coming brand and we’re thrilled to be putting our stamp on things and getting the opportunity to teach the next generation of hair professionals our methods.

“It’s great to work with Barnsley College and join the process of giving students the very best training opportunities possible.”

Our Principal and CEO, David Akeroyd, added: “Partnering with MUK Hair Academy not only enhances the professional training of our hairdressing students but also gives them a direct path into the industry with hands-on, real-world experience.

“It’s about more than just developing practical skills – it’s about helping our students see the breadth of opportunities within the sector and be equipped to pursue these.

“With MUK’s support, we’re excited to provide our hair and beauty students with the tools and vision to build successful, fulfilling careers after their time with us at Barnsley College.”
