Campuses are centrally located in Sydney and Melbourne, close to the CBD. Both cities are well-known for their multicultural population and diverse cultural and social activities. There is an huge choice of accommodation in both, including apartments, home stay, hostels and private rentals.

The Melbourne Pivot Point Academy is the oldest and largest specialist hairdressing academy in Australia and is seen as benchmark in hairdressing education by the industry. It is well-equipped with quality Pivot Point resources and a professional 40 workstation salon in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD.

In January 2010, Pivot Point opened the doors to its new, state-of-the-art hairdressing Academy, based in Sydney’s up-and-coming suburb of Waterloo. This exciting new boutique Academy has moved away from traditional institutional interior design, and offers a new perspective in hairdressing.

Both the Melbourne and Sydney campuses offer a range of intensive, industry-relevant diplomas and certificates, including the Certificate II-IV in Hairdressing and the Diploma of Salon Management. Pivot Point Academy is leading the way in cutting-edge educational principles and methods, employing student-managed learning, which lets the student learn at their own pace, using the resources that they choose, based on their own individual learning style.

Supported as it is by Australia’s most professional and experienced educators, we believe Pivot Point Academy provides the best, most comprehensive hairdressing education in Australia.
