Our Philosophy

ARTISTIC DEVELOPMENT IN A CREATIVE AND SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT

We believe that it is crucial for hair stylists and apprentices to develop their artistic form in order to be competitive in this evolving industry. A stylist’s role is not just to cut hair and turn a profit, stylists are constantly moving between the realm of business and art, self-expression and client satisfaction.

Our courses aim not only to help, guide and develop your stylists through building their cutting skills; we also empower them in the art of consultation, an element of hairdressing which we believe is the foundation of everything we do.

Face to Face Workshops

TRANSFORM YOUR SKILLS

Our comprehensive workshop offerings range from structured monthly programs to personalised training experiences. Whether you’re seeking foundational skills through our monthly programs, customised in-salon training, one-on-one mentorship, or specialised masterclasses, we have the perfect development path for every stylist’s journey. Each workshop is thoughtfully designed to build confidence, enhance technical skills, and nurture artistic expression in a supportive environment.

Testimonials

  • Wendy - Director, The Hairdresser

    I have been in the hairdressing industry for over 30 years during this time have participated in many national and international Education training and workshops. Michael Belcastro's platform with monthly workshops exceeds all education I have experienced. Michael's unique approach is creative and inspiring that allows for aspiring and advanced hairdressers to explore multiple hairstyles and techniques with one mannequin building each month from the previous haircut. I don’t know of anyone to create this module that Michael has managed to achieve so perfectly.

    Michael's nurturing approach encourages the stylist and promotes confidence with a range of new looks. This type of education taken back into the salon creates a unity within. Allowing the team to work together with the same terminology. 

    Michael Belcastro is the master of education. All my staff and myself have been a part of beducated.michael belcastro over the years and have had nothing but success when recreating looks from education we have attended.

  • Emiliano Vitale – Director, é Salon

    We’ve spent the last couple of years working with Michael, and my team absolutely love him! He visits our salon once a month to teach his INDIVIDUALITY.Your Program, which is tailored to my team’s individual needs.

    He has an innate ability to communicate and to help his students really understand something complicated. He has an incredible ability to connect with people at all levels, and our team thoroughly enjoy each time he is in the salon. Immediately we can see the difference and our team putting into practice what they had learned.

    Although Michael’s work is very technical and precise, there is a real commercial element to his work that can be used on a daily basis, which is invaluable in the salon environment. Michael’s ability to understand where everyone is at and adapt his education across all different levels, and make everybody feel like they are the most important person in the room, is truly inspiring.

    Knowing Michael and his commitment to educating all levels of hairdressers, especially the younger ones with industry growth in mind, we are truly grateful that we have had the pleasure of welcoming him into our salon.

  • Sara - Team and Education leader, Salon KIIN

    We have been fortunate to have Michael educate our team at Salon Kiin over the past 3-4 years in salon privately, and through the B.EDUCATED Contemporary.Refined and Start.Me Cutting Programs for junior and senior stylists.

    As an educator Michael provides clear and supportive direction on all cutting he delivers, covering fundamental to advanced cutting techniques. He is able to support his education classes with visual aids, structural graphics, sectioning patterns, and a thorough understanding of natural hair growth patterns. Michael's wealth of knowledge is evident in his explanations and demonstrations as he provides precision application on what particular cutting techniques will create for a client and their hair to ensure the stylist has the knowledge and skills to personalise haircuts beyond their education classes.
