THASA Open Day Invites Future Hair Pros to Take a Look Behind the Scenes - 24 May

The Hair Academy of South Africa (THASA) is hosting an Open Day on Saturday, 24 May 2025, and it’s open to anyone who’s curious about a career in hair, or just wants to know what actually happens behind those salon chairs. It’s happening in Potchefstroom, and yes, it’s completely free to attend.

What, Where and When

Here’s the breakdown:

• Date: 24 May 2025

• Venue: M C Roode Street, Potchefstroom

Whether you're finishing school, thinking of switching careers, or just curious about what THASA is all about, this is your chance to walk in, ask questions, and maybe even picture yourself holding a pair of scissors professionally.

Get a Feel for the Place

THASA, based on the grounds of the Technical High School in Potchefstroom, offers training for aspiring hairdressers in a setting that’s less formal classroom, more “let’s get you job-ready.” The Open Day gives visitors a proper look at the facilities, the vibe, and the people who make it all work including trainers who actually know what they’re talking about.

You can chat about courses, qualifications, and even the not-so-glam side of the industry (because let’s be honest it’s not all highlights and hairspray).

Accommodation? Sorted.

THASA has agreements with accommodation providers in the area, so students don’t have to commute from outer space. Places are safe, affordable, and within walking distance which is helpful when you’re carrying a kit bag full of combs and mannequin heads. More info on that is available if you’re keen.

It’s a Training Academy, But Also a Bit of a Family

Studying at THASA isn’t just about getting a qualification. There’s a sense of community that keeps people coming back and no, that’s not just something they say. Past and present students will tell you it feels like a second home (without the nagging).
