Pony Education teaches hairstylists how to look at the individual client and give something beautiful and interesting and suited to them and teaches the techniques to get there rather than teaching paint by number haircuts and putting them on heads.” — JAYNE MATTHEWS, OWNER, EDO SALON “It’s finally something that helps us! Not a cookie cutter technique of one thing! They are offering a variety of creative classes with a cool yet realistic twist!” — JANIE NAFFZ, OWNER, ARGONAUTA (AUBURN, CA) “Take the best educators who freelance because they truly love to teach, add to an intimate setting where you are free to ask as many questions as you like, see inspiration and demonstrations that open your creative eye and get your hands in the hair that day on carefully curated live models. What more do you need?” — ADRIENNE, DEEDA SALON (SACRAMENTO) “I would highly recommend Pony. I liked that it was somewhat intimate so asking questions was comfortable all around and the visual aspect was great at all angles. The instructor made sure we understood conceptually and visually. The class/course was well organized, so no lost time on the trivial stuff. I walked away wanting more!” — MAXIE, RINGOLEVIO SALON & SPA (SF) “If you are filling like you have holes in your skills or feeling stuck in same old thing. This is for you.
