Story

We’re providing future professionals with the tools of the trade.

The Cut Above Academy has been an integral part of New Zealand’s fashion history for over thirty years and it continues to play an important role in producing future hairdressers and make-up artists.

The qualifications offered by the Cut Above Academy are first-class credentials in contemporary image making. We offer a unique range of fulltime courses in hairdressing, beauty therapy, nail art and make-up artistry for fashion, film, and FX production.

Each course is designed to exacting industry standards and approved by the NZQA as a quality assured qualification.In today’s beauty and creative workforces you need to be multi-skilled. Salon and beauty clinic owners want operators with extra skills in make-up or nail artistry.

Production companies want make-up and FX artists who can style hair, create prosthetics and assist in wardrobe, props and fashion styling. Our wide-ranging syllabus allows you to add these skills to your CV – or progress to training in another field at the end of your chosen course.

As the driving force in image-making training we produce more skilled graduates for these workforces than any other school. Cut Above is the only NZ academy where you can gain an equivalent range of nationally recognised credits in all of these fields.

I have been here a few times for my haircut. Kristy and Mohamad served me on two different occasions and did the perfect haircut for me. Tutors and trainers are friendly so at the front staff. Highly recommend it if you like a free haircut in town.
Had an awesome haircut yesterday by Bree. Would give 5 stars for her service, she is excellent and gentle, but 4 stars is because the water was cold. I do not have concern with my hair being cut by student who is still learning, in fact, most of them are doing pretty good and thoughtful because they are afraid to make mistakes too. And guess what, they have a fantastic trainer to touch up and fix your hair if something goes wrong. Lastly, it's affordable with the student price so dont be so demanding. Overall I am happy. Keep it up guys!
My experience at Manukau branch for Make up artist course....Incapable MUA tutors, you can learn more by watching tutorials on theYouTube channel. They wasted our 2 months by teaching us only a few and incomplete contents . And 2 months were rushed to complete the course. We hardly got any bridal and full glam demos. Tutors showed favouritism , too much fighting and unnecessary dramas between students and manager/ tutor had no skill/ understanding to sort that out. Felt so happy on the last day of my course. I have studied in ignite college and me and students in my class had an awesome time/ experience with amazing tutors.
If I could give a Zero I would. No communication when issues arise, like no makeup kit for weeks, changes in pricing. I really suggest you go elsewhere for training
I wouldn’t even rate cut above one star at this point. This school is absolutely terrible! I attended from April 2021 to August 2021, I completed and passed the level 2 salon skills course and never received my certificate or ncea level 2 credits that they had advertised throughout all our workbooks and on the website! They have now removed that you can receive ncea level 2 from their website after my class made multiple complaints that we had never received our credits or certificates! We’ve contacted the school multiple times and have always received the same responses like “we don’t know what’s going on” or “I will get someone to give you a call back” but NONE of us have received a call back from the school, we’ve constantly nagged the school about our credits as it has literally PUT OUR LIVES ON HOLD. A lot of us can’t get jobs due to employers asking for proof of us having NCEA level 2, the same with schools!!! This is so unprofessional and honestly so horrible; I would never expect this kind of behaviour to come from a school. I would never recommend attending this school, it wasted months of my life and I got nothing good out of it. I hope the school sees this and finally gives my class some answers because we are growing tired of waiting and letting cut above ruin our lives and futures. I’ve attached proof from when they advertised that you could achieve NCEA level 2 from the course and proof that they have removed it.
Yeah! Jarvis is the bomb. Everyone else, though, fark. In the back corner just feels like lazy central
Been there with a voucher! Cut and colour was value for money except the tiring length of appointment which was 5hours. Dont visit if you are short of time or other appointments lined up. Otherwise very nice service!
dumb course, I was promised I would receive level 2 ncea credits and certificate. Never got either of them and tried to contact them multiple times asking about it and they would shut me out and never gave me a strait answer. Don’t recommend attending a course here at all. Toxic environment
-5 stars, took me an hour and a half for a haircut on top of that, the student slipped and made a mistake. While this alone would not be an issue, mistakes happen, but the supervisor Curtis, was highly unprofessional rude and downright insulting. Being a barber for 30 odd years would mean you acquire a little people skills, but apparently for Curtis it means disrespecting your customers supremacist attitude gets you nowhere in life. Well apart from being a glorified barber. You seriously need to learn how to talk to people. Highly recommend going to other places, one of the most horrible customer experiences I have ever faced.
Great experience! Great haircut, friendly staff and good customer service. Excellent!
