L'Académie Madagascar has relocated to Behoririka, in a new three-story building designed by Groupe EDL. The academy, a subsidiary of the group, now offers multibrand training in beauty and aesthetics. Nancy Heriantenaina, a responsible figure at the academy, explains that the change responds to concrete demands from professional salons. Many salons now want to offer more than just hairdressing services.
The academy's training programs have been expanded to include aesthetics, in addition to hairdressing. The new location allows for a broader range of services, including skincare and beauty treatments. L'Académie Madagascar was established in 2019 as Académie L'Oréal Professionnel Madagascar and has since obtained accreditation from the Ministry of Technical Education and Vocational Training for its hairdressing programs.
The academy's initial training program in hairdressing lasts six months, with four sessions per week, and covers eight modules. The program leads to a professional aptitude certificate, complemented by a certification from the Ministry of Technical Education and Vocational Training. The training goes beyond technical skills, focusing on diagnostic techniques, hair care, and product knowledge.
L'Académie Madagascar also offers modular training programs for professionals already in the industry. These programs include refresher courses, advanced training, masterclasses, and sessions on new techniques. The academy invites international expert trainers to provide training open to professionals, regardless of whether they were trained at the academy.
In addition to hairdressing, the academy offers training in aesthetics with the Guinot brand. Rina Razoaly, an international trainer, leads the training, which focuses on in-depth knowledge of skin, products, and care protocols. The Guinot approach emphasizes research, innovation, and expertise in institutes.
The certifying training program in aesthetics at L'Académie Madagascar consists of 12 modules over four months. The program aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to understand skin types and provide tailored care. The academy has already seen success, with 16 professional salons using the Guinot brand in Madagascar.
L'Académie Madagascar aims to contribute to the professionalization of the beauty sector, where creativity and knowledge are essential. The academy's expanded training programs and new location reflect its commitment to providing comprehensive education and training in beauty and aesthetics.
