DS Hair Education: a new era of education
Award-nominated educator Davide Spinelli has officially launched DS Hair Education (www.dshaireducation.com), a ground-breaking online learning platform designed to make high-quality, supportive hair education accessible to stylists everywhere.
Many stylists struggle to find affordable, structured education and personal guidance once they leave an academy. DS Hair Education was created to bridge that gap.
The only online education platform where hairdressers can receive individual guidance and feedback, DS Hair Education redefines how stylists learn and grow. After years of teaching across the UK, Europe, and beyond, Davide has distilled his signature method – rooted in clarity, structure, and confidence-building – into a digital experience that combines step-by-step tutorials with real mentorship.
“Education shouldn’t just show how to cut hair, it should help stylists understand why,” says Davide. “DS Hair Education is built on that principle. It’s a place where every hairdresser, no matter their background or experience level, can learn at their own pace while receiving real feedback and support.”
The new platform goes beyond traditional video tutorials and at launch offers more than 30 in-depth lessons across five key categories:
- The Big-Inning – the essential foundations: scissor control, sectioning, and comb work
- The Mechanics – how elevation, over-direction, and tools affect results
- Drying & Iron Work – wrap-drying, blow-drying, and finishing techniques
- Fringes – precision and balance for every face shape
- Foundation Haircuts – classic shapes for all hair types
Each haircut is divided into 10 focused episodes, allowing learners to revisit specific sections and master individual movements – making the experience clear, practical, and efficient.
But what truly sets DS Hair Education apart is its mentorship programme. Subscribers can access live video sessions with Davide, submit their work for personalised feedback, and become part of a supportive community focused on progress, not perfection.
“When I was learning, I always wished someone could watch my work and tell me what I was doing right or wrong,” Davide explains. “That’s why I built this platform – to give people that level of personal guidance I once needed.”
This launch marks another major milestone in Davide’s journey as one of the UK’s most respected educators. In 2025, he was shortlisted for Educator of the Year at both the Fellowship for British Hairdressing Awards and the Creative HEAD Most Wanted Awards, recognising his exceptional contribution to technical education and mentorship.
