About UsThese courses are designed to raise the standards of wig making within the professional theatre industry. The Wig Academy would like to pass on their expertise to enable students attending these courses a chance to reach a higher level of attainment. In return this will safeguard the traditional skills of wig making and increase the students chances of future employment. The wig making course covers the making of all types of wigs and hairpieces for both men and women, including both fine lace fronted wigs and hard fronted wigs, with crowns, partings, fringes etc. The Wig Academy provides a clean, friendly and modern workroom environment. The classes are small and personal, offering specialised tuition to each individual. We can offer a realistic approach to making and fitting wigs professionally by expecting our students to make tailor made wigs for each other, using only quality tools and materials including European human hair. The teaching is of a very high standard and students applying are expected to have a basic knowledge of wig making and hairdressing, or an equivalent aptitude and interest in the subject. A NVQ is desirable but not essential. It is the school's intention to aspire to bridge the gap between students leaving college and finding employment within the industry. With our expert tuition and experience, we can offer these courses for students to fine tune their skills in the art of wig making and hopefully improve their future chances of employment. |
