hair course

GAN academy delivers practical and intensive hair courses, both online and offline, specifically designed for driven creatives who want to progress and move their careers forward in their respective fields. The name GAN originates from three Chinese words 感(gǎn), 敢(gǎn), and 干(gàn), which are respectively translated as “sense,” “courage,” and “doing.”

In the contemporary hair industry, hair designers must be multifaceted, excelling in both fast-paced salon environments and creative, editorial work. GAN emphasises the importance of simplifying hairdressing techniques and effectively using them on clients while maintaining high-quality hair design. By providing detailed visualisations of key technical methodologies, GAN helps hair designers understand the expected results on real clients' hair. The core value of GAN—Simplify, Visualise, and Utilise—forms the foundation of all hair design varieties. These techniques can be customised, combined, and applied to achieve diverse and genderless hair designs suitable for various hair textures and styles.
