WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
An Unforgettable Masterclass Experience with Juliette den Ouden
“Juliette den Ouden’s master class was a true eye-opener! Her expertise and passion for the profession shine through in everything she does. During the Look & Learn sessions, she was able to take us into her creative vision while explaining complex techniques in an accessible way. The hands-on training was intense and inspiring. Juliette provided personal guidance and valuable tips that immediately helped me take my skills to the next level. In addition, the atmosphere was incredibly warm and motivating, and the contact with other participants from the profession was enriching. What makes this master class really special is Juliette’s focus on more than just technique. She helped us connect with our own creativity and discover the power of our craft. It was not just a training, but a transformative experience that inspired me tremendously. I highly recommend this master class to anyone who wants to grow, innovate and be inspired by one of the best in the business!”
The master class with Juliette den Ouden in Paris was an absolute gamechanger! Juliette’s expertise and passion for her craft are second to none. She not only shared her techniques and tips, but also provided insight into the art of storytelling through her creations. The hands-on training was intense, inspiring and incredibly educational. I felt truly challenged to take my skills to the next level. The location in Paris added a touch of magic to it all, and the opportunity to network with other talented stylists made it extra special. I would definitely recommend this master class to anyone looking to refine their hair or makeup skills and seek new inspiration!
An Unforgettable Hands-on Experience with Juliette den Ouden

Where does the training take place?
JDO Academy is located in Amsterdam at the address below:
JDO Academy
August Allebéplein 1076
1076 AC Amsterdam
Free parking is available at the door on Sundays and every day after 7 p.m.
TIP: Enter “JDO Academy” on Google Maps, and it will take you to the right spot in front of the door instead of the plaza. Communicate this to your models as well.
Do I need to arrange my own models for the class?
Yes, if you register for a makeup course or training at JDO Academy, it is important that you bring a model to practice on at each class. However, for photo shoots we provide a professional model, this is charged separately which we specify on the invoice. In addition, it is essential that you also practice on models at home for your homework.
How do I arrange my own models?
- Immediate surroundings: we recommend asking your immediate surroundings first, think family, friends or neighbors. Perhaps they know someone who would also like to model for you.
- Social media post: of course, you can also use your own social media by sharing a post with a call. What can help in this is to tag @jdo-academy in your call so we can also share it on our channel (note: this is only possible if you have a public profile).
- Call in Facebook groups: there are also groups on Facebook where you can post calls that you are looking for a model to practice on. A fee is often expected in these, but it is not necessary. Be clear in your communication in this.
- Addressing people: another perhaps more challenging option is to simply approach people on the street or on the road, but we understand that this can be a barrier.
Am I entitled to student loans?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to apply for student loans because JDO Academy is a private training institution.
Are class materials included in the course or training fee?
At JDO Academy, we stand for quality and consistency in our training. Course materials are not included in the course or training fee. Although you are not required to work with our products, we recommend that you purchase our carefully curated packages. This not only ensures a high standard during the program, but also allows us to assess all students equally. Should you need only part of the starter kit, it is possible to order products separately.
What happens if I miss a class?
If you miss a class you can make it up in another season in consultation with our coordinator.
On average, how many hours a week do I spend on homework?
We do not handle homework for the Basic Makeup Class, but do recommend practicing what you have learned at home.
Will I receive a certificate or diploma after completing the course or training?
At JDO Academy, you are assured of quality and high standards. Upon completion of your training, you will therefore receive our own JDO certificate, which we deliberately chose instead of an industry diploma. Indeed, we are proud of our CRBKO registration and the fact that 95% of our students succeed. Upon completion of a training or course, this certificate is awarded in recognition of your achievements and professionalism.
