Angela Stewart 'The Afro Hair Coach'

Based in West London

Angela is a HMUA with 23 years experience in the TV, Film and Photographic Industries and specializing in Afro Hair Education since 2019. Her knowledge is from being a lifelong Naturalista, with the occasional diversion into Permanent Relaxed or Brazilian blow-dry methods. Angela has extensive experience with most problems that can arise and almost all is from first hand experience. 

As a MUA, Angela watched colleagues struggling for years and would help out when she could. Like others, Angela bemoaned the fact that Afro Hair was over looked in the training courses, and yet she didn’t realise that she could be part of the solution until 2018.

Angela's teaching style is based on the fact that we all learn differently, at different speeds, using different methods. Understanding also that Freelancers can’t always know their availability she keeps her classes short, and flexible. One thing is certain, Afro Hair Training is Vital if the industry is to be truly respectful to all its users.

Angela offers 1 day to 5 day workshops, groups or one to one’s available.  

Absolute beginners welcomed.

Angela teaches a Combless and painless method that incorporates combs (tools) and Product Simplifying.

All workshops are with real models so hands on experience for the texture is an added bonus.

Prices range from £300 to £1750.
