What stylists say about KURO Academy
“What makes KURO unique is Bianca herself. Her broad passion and background in fashion give you a completely new perspective on all facets of the craft. I started looking differently at my own authenticity and continue to develop myself thanks to what I learned at KURO. I see that reflected in my work, my inspiration, and in the collections I design.”
Ivonne Martens, stylist
“At KURO Academy I discovered that it is not only about technique but also about how you look at hair. I learned to see the overall picture and make choices that truly complete a look. This deepened my work and helped me develop my own signature, both in the salon and on shoots.”
Michiel van Vonderen, stylist
“I recently attended KURO Hair School and I am incredibly happy with the experience. I learned new styling techniques that take my work to a higher level and make me more confident as a colourist. I also met other talented hairstylists. The result: beautiful connections and even more opportunities for the future.”
