During the pandemic, our amazing tutors here at Central all teamed up to provide you with a list of fantastic resources for hairdressing students: online resources that help you to continue your hairdressing studies at home and keep you busy through lockdown. Although we’re no longer in lockdown, these resources are still gold!
We’ve included Instagram accounts, YouTube and Websites for you to browse through. Some of the websites only offer paid tutorials, so be careful before you sign up.
Check back regularly, as we’ll be adding to the list! And if you have any gems you’ve found yourself, please leave a comment below 🙂
Here they are, in no particular order:

If your left handed, then Ben Brown is the one for you to follow. Have a look at his tutorials on Instagram and YouTube. What we like about his tutorials, is that they’re short and to the point. Only got 10mins to spare? Then check him out!
