THASA The Hair Academy of South Africa Potchefstroom Open Day - 1 November

A Future in Hairdressing Starts Here

For anyone who has ever fancied themselves wielding a pair of scissors like a pro, THASA Hair Academy in Potchefstroom is opening its doors on 1 November 2025. The open day gives potential students a look at the academy’s Hairdressing and Hairstyling Training Programme, designed to turn enthusiasm for hair into a professional qualification.

Classes officially kick off in February 2026, with no experience needed. All that’s required is creativity and the willingness to learn.

What the Academy Offers

The programme promises professional training from qualified stylists within a year. Students can also expect:

• Hands-on experience in a friendly, creative learning environment

• Guidance with job placements, whether it’s work in a salon or preparing to open one’s own

• An optional short course in make-up

• Skills in cutting, colouring, styling and treatments

The academy emphasises practice over theory, ensuring learners leave with tools they can use straight away.

A Place to Learn and Live

THASA is based on the grounds of the Technical High School in Potchefstroom. Its location puts students close to shops and recreational facilities, so they can balance student life with training.

Accommodation agreements with local providers mean affordable and safe housing options are available within walking distance. The academy describes itself as a family, making it clear that learning here is not just about hair but also about community.

Why Attend the Open Day

The open day is a chance to see the academy in action, meet the instructors, and figure out if the programme is the right fit. It’s less about glossy brochures and more about getting a proper look behind the scenes.

THASA invites anyone considering a career in hair to come through, have a look, and decide whether it’s time to swap the kitchen scissors for proper shears. With limited spots available, the open day might be the start of a brand-new chapter for future stylists.
