ABOUT WESTROW ACADEMY
BRINGING OUT THE BEST OF YOU, EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
Established in 2014 in the heart of Leeds, the highly anticipated Westrow Academy has grown to become a multi award-winning centre of educational excellence and one of the North of England’s leading destinations for professional hairdressing education.
Housed within the beautifully restored Westrow House, the Academy blends heritage with innovation. The original Georgian architecture, dating back to 1692, has been carefully preserved, while the interior has been thoughtfully transformed from a former coach house into a contemporary, purpose-built training environment. The result is a stylish, inspiring and state-of-the-art academy designed to nurture creativity, confidence and professional success.
With the capacity to welcome up to 240 students at any one time, Westrow Academy provides an exceptional environment in which to develop the skills and knowledge required for a successful career in the hair industry. From hairdressing and barbering to leadership, management and business development, students benefit from expert-led training, hands-on salon experience and industry insight within an unrivalled setting.
At Westrow Academy, the No.1 Hairdressing Academy in the North of England, education goes beyond technical ability. We are passionate about inspiring the next generation of professionals, helping every student build confidence, unlock their potential and prepare for a rewarding future in one of the world’s most exciting and creative industries.
