Training & education
Three hours, hands-on, on live models, or the same method online, at your own pace. No qualification needed, nothing to bring, and a certificate at the end of the day.
I teach the technique I use behind the chair, not a version of it written for a classroom.
Shan · 10+ years in hairHi, I’m Shan , a bouncy blowdry specialist and educator with over 10 years in the hair industry.
I started my career straight from school through an apprenticeship, and finishing hair was always the part I was naturally drawn to. Over the years, I’ve refined my own bouncy blowdry technique through working with real clients, different hair types and plenty of trial and error behind the chair.
Now, alongside my salon work, I teach both hairstylists and complete beginners how to create smooth, long lasting bouncy blowdries with more confidence and control.
My bouncy blowdry training is designed to meet you where you’re at, whether you’re already working in the industry and want to improve your technique or you’re a complete beginner starting from scratch.
It’s practical and focused on helping you understand why a technique works, not just copying a set of steps. Wether you choose online education , 1-2-1 bouncy blowdry training or a masterclass , the aim is to help you understand the technique and create more consistent results.

The Art of Blowdries – A Day I’ll Never Forget
Today I had the most amazing day training with my mentor, Shannan, and I honestly left feeling so full , full of knowledge, confidence, and pure gratitude. From the moment I arrived, Shannan’s aura just made me feel calm, welcomed, and seen. She’s so detailed in her teaching, and what stood out most is how much care she put into the little things – she truly has an eye for detail and a heart for teaching.

Whenever I felt confused or unsure about something, she went over it again with ease and joy – no judgement, no pressure, just support. That’s rare. You can tell she genuinely wants you to win and believes in you even when you hesitate.
What made this experience so special is that Shannan is not just an educator – she’s a passionate hairdresser, too. She understood my pain points straight away, because she’s been there. Watching her journey and how beautifully she executes her bouncy and curly blowdries gave me the courage to really master mine. It reminded me why I love hair in the first place – it’s an art.
A massive thank you to the beautiful models who were so patient and kind – it meant the world. And honestly, finding a course that teaches proper bouncy and curly blowdries is hard to come by… but I’m so glad I found Shannan. Her one-to-one training is perfect if, like me, you learn best through visuals and hands-on guidance.
Today has shown me just how powerful it is to learn from someone who pours passion into their craft and teaches from the heart. I left inspired, excited, and ready to elevate the services I offer with new techniques and confidence.
Shannan, thank you. For everything. Wishing you all the success in your 1-1 trainings – you’re changing lives, one blowdry at a time
Highly, highly recommend.
Thank you for brilliant day
I felt so welcome from the minute I stepped into the salon and left feeling like I was on cloud nine! You have so much patience, not once did I feel silly for not getting something straight away! The tips and tricks you shared with me made the biggest difference and I can’t thank you enough for having me! You’re the best!

After a lot of research on bouncy blowdry courses I came across Shannan!
From start to finish she made me feel so at ease, especially as I had no professional hair experience! Coming out of the course I feel I have so much knowledge and little tricks under my sleeve to achieve the best possible results! She was so patient and supportive with me even when I repeated my mistakes several times and I generally felt as she was proud of me when I got it right and achieved a good technique. She also educated me on how and why choosing the right products for different hair types and lengths was key, which has made me so excited to try my new learnt skills on a variety of people! Overall, well worth the 3hr trip!!

I recently attended Shannan’s bouncy blow dry course and it was honestly a 100/10 experience!
I’m so glad I invested in learning from her. Shannan is incredibly welcoming, patient, and clearly an expert in her field the quality of her teaching is outstanding. She explained everything so well and made sure I left feeling confident. As a lovely extra touch, she even sent me away with a goodie bag full of high-quality products to kickstart my bouncy blow dry journey, which I thought was amazing and so thoughtful. I would highly recommend Shannan to anyone looking to learn she’s the best
