Hairdressers can now get creative in a delightful oasis of calm when attending any of the many different courses in our Southam headquarters in Warwickshire .
Nestled well away from the hustle and bustle of the outside world , our light and airy academy is designed to be salon-like in its look and feel . Self-contained and away from management offices , it has its own separate entrance and embraces some 500 square feet .
A welcoming reception area complete with cloakroom , boasting comfortable black leather sofas and refreshmentmaking facilities , leads through to the salon-style teaching area . This is home to eight styling positions with back-toback mirrors ( with cavities in-between to house hair tools , dryers etc .) two backwashes and a pleasant self-contained lecture area .
Designed with a fresh , contemporary ambience in mind , a cream-coloured ceramic tile floor ( with under floor heating ) runs throughout the academy , complemented by a balance of natural brick and pure white rendered walls .
An oak beam , high-vaulted ceiling and double-aspect windows deliver plenty of natural light , furthered by two French doors which open directly onto a cobbled courtyard – the perfect area for course attendees to relax in during breaks .
Explaining the rationale of the investment , Racoon International Managing Director , Claire Bartley says : “ With course bookings rising over the past nine months , we decided to enlarge our training facility , choosing to do it in style . Our education has always been second to none . Now we ’ ve gone one step further by presenting HQ courses in a luxurious salon-style environment totally fit for purpose .
“ Our discerning customers deliver high quality services and facilities to their clients and expect just the same from us ,” says Claire . “ The feedback we ’ ve had so far proves it to be a wise investment – our trainees love the feel of the academy , saying it makes them feel at home and it gives that all-important professional edge to our courses .”
