Kleek Hits London Town

Celebrating 25 years of delivering outstanding hair and beauty apprenticeships, and the launch
of their successful new London academy, we sat down with Kleek Apprenticeships to learn more
about the Academy and their ethos.

The Academy, located on Harmood Street opposite Camden Lock in northwest London, has been bustling with activity since it opened in early January. With over 100 apprentice hairdressers and barbers attending, Kleek continues to build on its legacy, having trained over 8,000 apprentices to date, benefitting from the exceptional training provided by Kleek Educators and their salons.

Now recognised as the UK’s leading hair and beauty training provider and proud holder of an outstanding Ofsted rating since 2006, we hear from the new London Educator team and some of Kleek’s latest apprentices

Hair educator, Isha Samms shared how she’s loving the new academy and working for Kleek, “What has really stood out for me is how well the training, setup, resources, and management have been structured. Everything has been designed with both the stylist and apprentice in mind, ensuring that their unique needs and learning experiences are balanced. Often, training environments focus solely on the teaching aspect or the salon perspective, but Kleek has thoughtfully integrated both to create the best possible learning atmosphere.”

Following on, hair educator Amy, added, “It’s clear that the Kleek ethos is about quality – in its teaching, the learner experience and the support offered to employers.”

Isha agrees and shared, “Kleek Academy London and Kleek Apprenticeships are exceptional places to learn the craft of hairdressing and barbering. Our educators bring real industry experience, having worked - and many continue to work - with some of the leading hair salons and brands. It’s a setting where learners acquire essential skills and real-world insights from industry professionals.”

Hair Educator Claire Atkins confirmed, “The first few months at Kleek Academy London have been absolutely amazing – eventful, informative, and full of exciting experiences for all!”
