Rush academy – it's all systems go for cutting edge education

The opening of the Rush Academy in the heart of London’s Covent Garden, heralds an exciting new opportunity for hairdressers from all over the world to hone their skills and develop their creativity. For over 20 years, Rush have pushed the boundaries of hairdressing, producing inspirational and ground-breaking award winning photographic collections backed up with inspired techniques in cutting, colouring and styling hair. The Rush Academy will share with attendees, their philosophy of ‘Strength and Movement’, whilst hosting an array of long and short-term courses suitable for all, from fledgling hairdressers to the most innovative creative stylist or colour technician. Rush believe that creative freedom comes from a strong foundation, and this is the heart of the Rush Education Team’s philosophy. Headed up by the award- winning Rush Artistic Team, all educators are experts at their craft. With years of experience in both hairdressing and educating, travelling the globe and working with hairdressers from different cultures and countries, each team member brings their own individual style to Rush’s unique signature ‘Strength and Movement’ concept. The team at the new academy will be led by the best in the business, Rush International Artistic Director, Andy Heasman, Rush International Colour Director, Chris Williams and Rush Editorial Director, Tina Farey. All three individuals are part of the extensive Rush Artistic Team who have developed and created each of the courses provided to all students attending the Rush Academy. There’s something for everyone at the new academy, with a comprehensive programme ranging from one-day courses in cutting, colour and editorial work to a six-month beginner’s course and everything else in between.
