MORE THAN JUST HAIR

OUR PHILOSOPHY

At Ahead Academy, we believe that entrepreneurship is a powerful tool for social and economic empowerment. By focusing on Black hair education, we not only teach valuable skills but also instill confidence and pride in our students’ cultural identity. We are committed to breaking down barriers, challenging stereotypes, and creating pathways to success for Black youth in entrepreneurship and beyond.

 

Ahead Academy provides day camps, after-school programs,  and workshops that teach empowerment and entrepreneurship through hair.

CLASSES & WORKSHOPS

Our camps and workshops are hands-on, fun, and one-of-a-kind! Each session teaches a new hair-specific lesson, coupled with a lesson on business or empowerment.
