The Lee Stafford Academy at our Dartford and Gravesend campuses

Our Lee Stafford Academies are the only salons in Kent and South East London, and there are only 9 across the UK that are open to the public. NKC Hairdressing and Barbering Lee Stafford Teaching Student Recipes

Everyone deserves to be pampered, so why not do it locally for much less than you would pay in a high street salon? Not only will you leave us relaxed, satisfied and looking gorgeous, but your bank account will thank you too.

Our Lee Stafford Academy based at Dartford and Gravesend, allows our students to be trained in-line with Lee Stafford's own specially designed hair styling techniques. 

Students will receive training in up to 22 fundamental skills and techniques which you will learn to what Lee calls ‘Michelin standard’. Once accomplished in these techniques, they are then encouraged to use their creativity with no bounds. These skills will then be tested in national competitions with other Lee Stafford Academy students in FE Colleges across the UK during the academic year.

The Academy is open most weekdays and on selected evenings to offer a comprehensive range of hairdressing and barbering treatments and services, to the general public. Our students provide all of the services as part of their training. They work under the supervision of their lecturers to gain valuable experience in a real salon environment.

For a list of our services, treatments and prices, please call the Dartford or Gravesend Salon on 01732 372811.
