The strength of Immersion

That is why you start right away with the full Hairstyling Class and the JDO Method, from any location in the world.

Whether you run a salon, have a busy schedule, combine family life with your work or live in another country.

Then you bring it all together during a multi-day Immersion Experience.

The same course. The same guidance. More freedom.

Does this sound familiar?

You want to develop further as a Hair Artist. But a traditional course does not always fit into your life.

Whether you already have experience or are just starting out: you want to develop seriously as a Hair Artist, without having to choose between your ambition and everything your life already asks of you.

More creativity

You want more than cutting, colouring and everyday salon treatments. You want bridal, fashion, editorial and creative work.

More freedom

You have clients, a salon, a job or a family. Weekly class days are not always realistic.

More practice

You do not just want to watch tutorials. You want to work on models, receive feedback and develop yourself as a Hair Artist.

That is why we developed Immersion. A learning path that combines the flexibility of online learning with the power of live hands-on experience.

JDO Hairstyling Immersion on location

you do not grow alone, you grow together

Why students choose Immersion

Online you build the foundation with the full JDO Method, at your own pace, from home or any location in the world.

During the Immersion you bring it all together: direct feedback, mentoring and portfolio building. You learn not only from Juliette, but also by working together with other ambitious creatives from different countries, backgrounds and disciplines.

the JDO Method online, then the days on location

How it works

You start today. You learn the complete JDO Method online from home, with your hands in the hair from week one and your work reviewed along the way. The four days in the Netherlands are not a beginning and not a summary, they are where it all comes together.

  1. 01

    You start today, with your hands

    The platform opens the moment you enrol. Every week a new module is released with an assignment you actually carry out, on your own practice models or a practice head. You hand in your assignments, filmed or photographed, and receive personal feedback from the JDO Academy educators on what you made.

  2. 02

    Every month live, and you get to know the group

    Along the way you see each other every month in the JDO Academy Sessions with Juliette and the educators, together with the other students on the Hair Artist Class, from every learning path and from earlier seasons too. Students who have already finished their course join in as well, and you come across them again in the JDO Community. You ask your questions, you show your work, and you already know where you get stuck. By the time you travel to the Netherlands you know the people standing beside you, and you can use the days for exactly the parts you want to grow in.

  3. 03

    Multi-day Immersion on location

    During your journey you join an Immersion Experience that fits you: 4 intensive days in the Netherlands. Hands-on work on models and personal mentoring.

  4. 04

    Final photoshoot, portfolio & certificate

    You finish with a professional photoshoot on location. The results form your portfolio, together with your JDO Hairstyling Certificate, and we aim for publication of selected work (external publication is not guaranteed).

You're never on your own

From your very first day to your certificate you're personally guided, during the intensive training days and online.

  • ✓JDO Welcome onboarding with videos, so you get off to a smooth start
  • ✓You practise independently on your practice head, with personal feedback from the JDO Academy educators

Reviews

“
I was already working as a make-up artist, but I often had to turn down or pass on hairstyling jobs because I didn't feel confident enough. With the Immersion pathway I could first study the techniques at home and practise them extensively. During the coaching calls I received feedback and could ask questions about the parts that weren't working yet. In the four-day Immersion everything came together. We repeated the techniques, worked intensively on models and refined my finishing. Thanks to the photoshoot I could immediately add professional work to my portfolio. I now offer both hair and make-up and can take on more complete bookings.

“
Although I had worked as a hairdresser for years, I noticed that with hairstyling I kept falling back on the same techniques and safe looks. I wanted to learn more about preparation, shape, texture and modern editorial and bridal styling. The JDO Method gave me the flexibility to study alongside my salon work. During the calls I could discuss my progress. The four-day Immersion then gave me the depth and direct corrections I needed. I now work more creatively, faster and with much more confidence.

“
As a mother and freelance make-up artist I couldn't travel to a hairstyling course every week. Yet I wanted to add hair, because clients increasingly asked whether I could provide a complete look. I followed the lessons at home when the children were at school or in bed and used the calls to get feedback on my work. For the closing four-day Immersion I could deliberately block out one period. There everything was repeated, corrected and applied professionally. The photoshoot and certificate ceremony felt like the perfect finish. Now I book complete hair-and-make-up jobs and can plan my own schedule.

Four days of practical training in the Netherlands

You start the JDO Method online straight away, so you arrive at the Immersion days prepared. You can enrol at any time of year; the date above is the cut-off for joining this edition.

With Klarna you pay us the one-off price, without a surcharge. Klarna fronts the amount and you pay Klarna back in parts. Your whole order can come along, so your kit and your shoot models too. You apply at checkout; Klarna assesses the application and sets the terms, that does not run through us.

About the kit

Paying in one go or through Klarna, you can simply add your kit to the same order. With our own instalment plan the arrangement covers the tuition only, so the kit is paid for separately.

Taking both?

Hairstyling and Make-up

Take both programmes at Immersion level and a €500 duo benefit applies. You finish as a complete Hair & Make-up Artist, able to create the whole look yourself. The days of both programmes run back to back, so you travel to the Netherlands once and are with us for nine days: make-up Tuesday to Saturday, hairstyling Sunday to Wednesday. You then follow 34 modules instead of 14, and the months before the training week are exactly long enough for that. What feels like waiting on one programme is simply your study time on two. Finish early and you use that time on real work: bridal jobs, building your portfolio, widening your network. You then arrive in the Netherlands not just prepared, but already working.

the learning paths side by side

The same programme, three ways

You are not choosing between three programmes. On all three you learn exactly the same thing: the complete JDO Method, the same assignments, the same feedback from the educators, the same monthly Academy Sessions and the same certificate.

The difference comes down to one thing: how much time you spend together, live. Online Guided asks you to travel nowhere. Hybrid is a monthly evening in Amsterdam. Immersion is four days back to back, or nine days if you take both programmes.

Frequently asked questions

What is Klarna and what does paying in instalments mean?
Paying in instalments means you pay for the course in parts instead of all at once. Klarna is the payment service that makes this possible. You choose Klarna at checkout, not with us beforehand. Klarna then runs a short check and decides whether instalments are possible. Which terms apply and what Klarna charges for them you see at Klarna before you agree, so you are not committed to anything until you have seen that overview. Klarna is not available in every country. If it is not available where you are, you pay in one go with iDEAL, credit card or PayPal.
Can I combine the course with a full-time job?
For the online part: yes, you follow that at your own pace. For the 4 intensive days on location you reserve one continuous week off, e.g. using holiday days. This is an immersion, not an evening course.
Do I need experience to start?
No. The JDO Method guides you step by step from the basics to a professional level. Beginners are welcome, a passion for hairstyling is enough to start.
How much time does the course take on average per week?
You start with the online programme: 14 modules you work through at your own pace, on average around 3 to 4 months. During that preparation you spend roughly 4-6 hours per week. Then come the 4 intensive days on location, where you work 8-10 hours a day on your growth.
Are travel and accommodation included?
No. You arrange and pay for travel and accommodation yourself. We do share recommendations for accommodation near the location so you can easily plan your days.
How long do I have access to the online learning platform?
You have 12 months of full access to the JDO learning platform. Within that period you can watch the modules as often as you like. After 12 months your access ends.
Do I need to arrange models for the lessons myself?
During the online part you practise at home on your own practice models or a practice head. On location we arrange the models for the hands-on training and the final photoshoot. They are not included in the tuition: a compulsory contribution of €155 applies for the one shoot model on the Hairstyling Immersion.
Are the professional photoshoots included?
Yes. A final professional photoshoot is part of the programme. The model is arranged by us but is not included in the tuition: a compulsory contribution of €155 applies. The result forms the start of your portfolio, and we aim for publication of selected work (external publication is not guaranteed).
Can I take part if I live in Belgium or abroad?
Yes. The Immersion is international and is taught in English. You do the online part from any location. For the 4 intensive days you travel to the Netherlands.
Can I pay for the course in instalments?
Yes. The tuition is €3.700, including the photoshoot and certification. When paying in full you receive a 5% discount (€3.515). Besides paying in full, you can pay in spreading through Klarna, which you apply for with Klarna yourself at checkout. For the model of your final photoshoot a mandatory contribution of €155 applies on top. Travel and accommodation for the Immersion Days you arrange yourself.
Do I receive a JDO certificate after completion?
Yes. After successful completion you receive a JDO Hairstyling Certificate. JDO Academy is CRKBO registered, which means the course is VAT-exempt.
