Empowering Hair & Beauty Professionals Through Education

We make it easy for experts to teach and learners to grow.

Our Story

At You&I Academy, we believe education should be simple, accessible, and rewarding—for both instructors and learners.

Founded by professionals within the hair and beauty industry, You&I Academy was created to provide a modern solution for professionals who want to share their expertise and for those who want to learn and grow. We understand the challenges faced by stylists, beauticians, and salon owners: limited time, demanding schedules, and the complexity of delivering high-quality education online.

Our platform removes those barriers, offering an easy-to-use, supportive space where hairdressers and beauty professionals can create and sell their own online courses, while learners can access practical, expert-led education on their own terms.

Our Mission

To empower hairdressers and beauty professionals to share their skills through high-quality, accessible online education—growing both their income and personal brand in the process.
