GB International Hair Academy

When I came to Australia, I started from scratch. I know how much courage it takes to build a career and a business for yourself.

That’s one reason I wanted to meet , the founder of Indie Hair Academy . We finally caught up, and I’m so glad we did. We both care deeply about helping independent hairstylists feel confident in what they’re building.

My passion is helping hairstylists strengthen their skills, communicate their value, attract the right clients and increase the revenue they earn from each appointment.

But I’ve always had a question in the back of my mind: Who helps a hairstylist understand the practical steps of setting up independently? Things like paperwork, business requirements and knowing what to check before opening a home salon. That’s an area where I wanted to find someone I could confidently point my students towards.

Angela helps independent hairstylists navigate that starting point. I loved hearing about the guidance she offers through Indie Hair Academy coaching and online training , and I wanted to share her work with you.

Because building a business takes both sides.

You need to understand how to set it up properly, and you also need the skills and confidence to bring clients into your chair, deliver great results and earn a healthy income.

If you’re thinking about becoming an independent hairstylist or opening a home salon, have a look at Angela’s training at Indie Hair Academy. And when you’re ready to grow your skills, consultations and revenue, that’s where I’d love to help you.

Thank you for such a valuable conversation, Angela. I’m excited for more hairstylists to know about the support available to them. ❤️

A client can’t choose you for something they don’t know you’re known for.

Sometimes when a service isn’t selling, we assume there isn’t enough demand.

But before deciding “people around here don’t want blonde,” look at what the salon is communicating to the market.

When someone lands on your Instagram, website or Google profile, can they immediately see what you specialise in?

Do your results make them think, “That’s exactly what I want”?

Does your team have the confidence to consult, recommend and deliver that service at a premium level?

Because becoming known for a service doesn’t happen by accident.

Expertise creates results.
Results create confidence.
Confidence creates visibility.
Visibility creates demand.

Your location matters—but positioning matters too.

At GB International Hair Academy, I help hairstylists and salon teams strengthen the technical and consultation skills that help them become known for higher-value services and create more value from every client.

Salon owners and hairstylists — what service do you want to become known for?

I want to help hairstylists close the gap between being qualified and becoming a confident, high-performing hairstylist — someone who has the technical skill, consultation skill and confidence to create exceptional results and build a profitable career.

I didn't start GB International Hair Academy because I wanted to become a business coach.

I started it because I saw a gap in our industry — and I had lived through that gap myself.

When I first came to Australia, I was earning around $80 a day as a hairstylist.

I knew how to do hair, but I realised very quickly that being a qualified hairstylist and becoming a high-performing, highly paid hairstylist are two very different things.

I didn't want to simply work more hours to earn more money.

So I started studying, researching and practising.

I specialised in advanced blonde and colour correction. I improved my consultation skills. I learned how to communicate confidently, understand exactly what my clients wanted and recommend the right solution.

As my knowledge increased, my confidence increased.

My results became better.

My clients trusted me more.

And the value I could create from each appointment increased.

Eventually, I went from earning around $150 a day, to $300, and then to $1,000 days.

But what really changed my direction was seeing other hairstylists use the systems I had developed and create results for themselves.

That's when I realised:

There are so many talented hairstylists who don't need to work harder.

They're simply missing pieces of knowledge that nobody has properly taught them.

Technical knowledge.

Consultation.

Communication.

Recommendation.

And the confidence to bring all of those skills together.

That's why I created GB International Hair Academy.

I want to help hairstylists close that gap and become confident, high-performing professionals — and help salon owners build teams that can deliver exceptional results without constantly depending on the owner.

She was working 6 days a week.

Not because she wasn’t talented.

Not because she needed another basic hairdressing course.

She already knew how to do hair.

But knowing how to do hair and knowing how to perform at a high level behind the chair are two very different things.

Once Dieu learned how to combine stronger technical skills with confidence, communication, consultation and premium recommendations, everything changed.

She went from making around $3K a month to making up to $5K a month— working only 3 days.

Today, she consistently makes around $10K–$12K a month working 3 days a week.

Same hairstylist.

Fewer days.

Higher performance.

Different income.

This is why I believe hairstylists don’t always need more basic education.

They need to learn how to perform with confidence in the real salon world.

If you’re a salon owner/ Independent hairstylist and you want your team to become more confident, higher-performing hairstylists, comment TEAM and I’ll show you what I teach.
