Walking into Beau Monde Academy for the first time, I instantly felt the creative, passionate and energy in the students, and the staff. I was brought in to show Sebastian cutting and styling for one of their annual events. The students and staff were excited to soak in everything, to elevate their craft, and push themselves past their creative limits. The staff at Beau Monde Academy is incredibly talented, which is extremely important to growing our young talent into the next generation of hairdressers.
