Janet Adele - Founder
Welcome, to what will be a life changing year.
I know exactly how you would be feeling; a mixture of nerves and excitement, not exactly sure what you have got yourself into. Wondering will you fit in with the other students and will you be able to do the assessments, especially if it’s been sometime since you’ve done any formal study.
I began my career the exact same way in Ultimo many years ago. I went on to own 12 hairdressing salons and came second in the International Hairstylist Championships. The nerves of course have gone and are now overridden by passion. Not just passion for the industry I love, but a passion to train up the next generation of amazing hairdressers and barbers of all ages.
I’m so excited to see which direction you take this diverse craft, maybe as a business owner, wedding specialist, in retirement villages, mobile, magazines, catwalk, television, live theatre, working on a cruise liner, travelling the world, a hair technician or in education like me. Really the list is as big as your imagination.
You’ll love Janet Adele Training as it is quite bespoke as you are being trained in a commercial environment with paying customers, rather than a simulated salon.
I’m really looking forward to developing and creating new skills and mentoring you into becoming the best you possibly can be.
History
Janet Adele Training has been birthed out of Janet’s desire to put a stamp on a unique style of training which has been formulated as a result of her 25 years of educating students, owning and managing 12 hair salons and her passion for professional development. She has spread the net to gather other like-minded educators whose skills and passion are insurmountable.

I am so thankful that I was lucky enough to be trained by someone who has so much knowledge, patience and drive for the hairdressing industry and was happy to share it with her students.” Lina R
