Everything You Need to Know

Absolutely! Canvas Academy's Basic Hair Cutting Course and Professional Hair Styling Diploma are specifically designed for complete beginners. Our curriculum starts from the very fundamentals — tool handling, head shape analysis, sectioning techniques — and progresses step by step to advanced skills. Our instructors adjust the teaching pace according to each student's progress, ensuring nobody is left behind. Many of today's successful hairstylists in Hong Kong started their journey at Canvas Academy with zero prior experience.

Yes, of course! Our Personal Makeup Foundation Class and Professional Bridal Makeup Diploma are tailored for students with no background in makeup artistry. The course begins with skincare preparation, colour theory, and tool familiarisation before moving on to practical techniques.

Whether you want to learn everyday makeup for yourself or pursue a career as a professional makeup artist, Canvas Academy has the right programme for you.

Canvas Academy is committed to small-class teaching, with a maximum of 6 to 8 students per class. This intimate class size ensures that every student receives ample individual attention and guidance from our instructors. Compared to large training centres that often have 20 to 30 students per class, our small-class model allows students to progress much faster in a more supportive learning environment.

During the course, the academy provides all professional tools and materials for students to use, including scissors, clippers, combs, blow dryers, cosmetics, makeup brushes, and more. Students do not need to purchase their own equipment to begin learning. If students wish to buy their own tools, our instructors will gladly offer professional purchasing advice and brand recommendations.
