meet your educator
I’m Ash Wuillemin. A hairdresser, educator, and lifelong hair nerd who genuinely believes hairdressing is one of the best careers you can choose. I’ve spent my career deeply involved in the industry, working hands-on in salons, educating emerging stylists, and contributing to the future of hair through ongoing involvement with the Australian hair and beauty sector. I currently work with Kevin Murphy colour and hair products, and I’m passionate about education that keeps our industry relevant, skilled, and sustainable.
My experience spans running my own successful salon in Melbourne, working in and learning from some of the best salons in Australia, and shadowing celebrity hairdressers in the US. I’ve educated for professional brands, presented on major industry stages, and spent years on the salon floor seeing exactly where training works — and where it falls short. That perspective shapes everything I teach: real skill, applied properly, in real salon conditions.
Outside the salon, I’m originally from Perth and have called Melbourne home for the past 10 years. I love horse riding and volunteer with Riding for the Disabled Victoria, spend as much time as possible camping or by the beach, and value balance just as much as ambition. At the core of everything I do is a genuine love for this industry and a strong belief that when hairdressers are trained well, supported properly, and proud of their skill, everyone wins , salons, clients, and the next generation of stylists.

Because “qualified” and highly “skilled” are never the same thing.
I’m Ash Wuillemin, and I help salon owners bridge the gap between trade school and genuinely salon-ready hairdressers.
Client expectations are higher than ever, yet the industry approach to training hasn’t evolved at the same pace - leaving salon owners to carry the pressure of developing real skill.
That’s where my work begins.
