Ivy Reign Academy: Empowering Young Women Through Hair & Beauty Education

At Ivy Reign Hair & Beauty, we’ve always believed that our industry is about more than just hair, makeup, and treatments — it’s about confidence, creativity, and opportunity. That’s why we’re so proud to announce the launch of Ivy Reign Academy, a dedicated program designed to support young women who may find mainstream school challenging but have a passion for the hair and beauty industry.

Supporting the Next Generation

We’ve recently partnered with Neale-Wade Academy’s Bridge Department, who now send their students to us every week as part of a structured learning contract. These students come to Ivy Reign to gain hands-on experience in a real salon environment, working alongside our team of professional stylists and beauty therapists.

For many of these young women, the traditional classroom isn’t always the best place to thrive. Our goal is to provide a safe, welcoming, and inspiring environment where they can develop practical skills, build confidence, and see the endless opportunities the hair and beauty industry can offer.

A Step-By-Step Program

Our academy isn’t just about shadowing — it’s a structured program that grows with each student. Week by week, they take on different aspects of the trade: from washing and blow-drying hair, to learning about skincare, nail care, client communication, and salon etiquette.

To make sure their learning is consistent and trackable, every student works with a personalised booklet, building a portfolio of knowledge and progress. This means they don’t just gain practical salon experience — they leave with a sense of achievement and tangible results they can be proud of.

Why Choose Ivy Reign?

Ivy Reign isn’t just one of the leading hair and beauty salons in Cambridgeshire; we’re also committed to shaping the future of our industry. By opening our doors to students who need an alternative path, we’re proving that the salon environment can be a powerful place of education, personal growth, and career development.

We believe this makes Ivy Reign stand out as the best salon in the area — not only because of our luxury services, but because of our dedication to community, education, and the next generation of hair and beauty professionals.

Looking Ahead

This is just the beginning for Ivy Reign Academy. We plan to expand our partnerships with more schools and continue offering opportunities for students who are curious about the world of hair and beauty. With each new cohort, we’ll keep inspiring confidence, creativity, and ambition — because every young person deserves the chance to shine.
