Education by Olivia Muldoon

Education by Olivia Muldoon was established in 2011 after Olivia realised the lack of good hairstyling training in Northern Ireland, with stylists having to travel across the pond to further their training.

After researching different courses offered throughout the UK, and gaining feedback from stylists who attended various styling courses, Olivia set about to raise the standards of teaching, and place more emphasis on ‘hands on learning’ as opposed to the normal ‘watch and learn’ courses. Bridal and Occasion hairstyling has become one of the most sought after and lucrative services in the salon, and clients expect their stylist to offer highly creative styles and to be knowledgable in their field.

Olivia’s hair courses are designed to cover all aspects of styling and dressing hair, from beginners to experienced stylists wishing to push their creativeness.

Olivia also offers private, bespoke and salon staff training on hairstyling and business mentoring upon request.

We also offer various professional and recreational workshops in hair and makeup application.

We are also excited to announce our online courses! With unlimited downloadable tutorials, expert marketing strategies and Facebook live training, you really don’t want to miss it! Visit Education by Olivia Muldoon site to enrol in a course now!
