The person behind the training
Meet Artina
Founder & Educator
Hi, I’m Artina Selimaj, founder of Art In London Hair Academy and owner of Art In London Salon.
Hairdressing has been a meaningful part of my professional journey. My experience comes from behind the chair — working with real hair, real clients and real challenges.
As a qualified Hairdressing Educator & Assessor, I created this academy because I believe confidence comes from doing.
I want every student to have someone beside them who doesn’t just tell them what to do, but shows them how and why.
That’s why I keep my classes small. I want to know every student, understand where they need support and watch their confidence grow.
You don’t need to arrive confident. That’s what you come here to build.
My goal isn’t simply to help you complete a course. I want you to leave feeling and thinking like a real hairdresser.
