Is Your Current Job Draining Your Creativity?

You feel it every day. The clock-watching, the repetitive tasks, the feeling of being stuck in a role with no future. You have a creative spark and a passion for beauty that is going completely untapped.

Another year in a dead-end job means another year of putting your dreams on hold. It leads to burnout, frustration, and the regret of not pursuing a flexible, fulfilling, and profitable career that you would actually love.

  • I enrolled at Collectiv Academy and I have been happy with this school at every turn. It's beautiful, professional looking and is run as such which is just as important. Had my tour with Ryan, he's very welcoming and informative. This has been refreshing to be able to attend a school that actually cares about us and provides what we need for proper education. It felt like I had come home. Take the tour and see for yourselves.

  • Being able to host a class at the collective academy truly was amazing! Carly, Carlos and I taught our Beyond the hair class there and I can’t say enough about how amazing the staff was. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and all our needs were met for the class. Also let’s not forget just how beautiful of a hair academy it is! So jealous of each stylist that gets to learn and train here!Again I cannot say thank you enough for hosting the Beyond the hair class! Looking forward to coming back!

You don't just learn haircutting in a vacuum; you learn it alongside the business skills to attract clients and the mentorship to guide you. It's a complete ecosystem for success, not just a series of lessons.
