Dubai It is no secret that women in the UAE love to pamper themselves with hairstyles and make-up, which has resulted in a booming beauty industry and opportunities for beauticians.
However, there is a lack of qualified talent when it comes to locally based professional hairstylists and make-up artists ready to enter the marketplace. This shortage will not continue for much longer if the Formul’A Hairdressing Academy based in Dubai Knowledge Village has anything to do with it.
“The main course we do is the International Vocational Qualification (IVQ) which is for people with no hairdressing experience at all,” Valerie Reynaert, general manager of Formul’A, said. “They learn the entire business from the very basics, which includes cutting, styling, colouring, hairdos, straightening and perms.”
