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.”
