Management and strategy
2 days — in person
Rethinking the hair salon, reinventing the craft.
Faced with an ageing clientele and the wear of an outdated model, we see a new generation of hairdressers emerging in search of meaning, respect and authenticity.
Through this course we want to turn that break into an opportunity: to welcome the human into management, to recover a quality of work aligned with what clients truly need, and to bring in digital tools — AI and precise diagnostics — for a practice that is both modern and deeply human.
We are convinced of it: success belongs to those who can bring together know-how, awareness and innovation. A demanding path… but one rich with hope.
Masterclass cutting
2 × 2 days — in person
A course for hairdressers who seek to elevate, not to standardise.
We spent a long time trying to understand why some cuts move you, calm you, transform you… while others, for all their technical skill, fall flat.
At La Suite in Bordeaux, that singular place where we receive people in private, we gradually grasped what is at play in the invisible: the moment a cut enters into dialogue with the person.
In this masterclass, we pass on what we have learnt, lived and tested.
Not a fixed method. Not one more technique to copy. But a way of seeing, a standard, a commitment.
Masterclass colour
2 × 2 days — in person
Create without detour: refine your technique, gain precision, elevate the result with less… and better.
In a world saturated with complicated promises, we chose a radical path: mastered simplicity, precision, and meaning. This course was born of that choice.
At La Suite in Bordeaux, we receive people in private, to an exacting standard. What makes the difference? A pared-back, deep practice in which every gesture counts. Here, true beauty emerges without artifice, carried by diagnoses of rare precision, enriched by AI — not to standardise, but to refine.
In this course we share every secret our research has yielded, with complete integrity. Nothing is theoretical. Everything is lived. Everything works.
This is not a method. It is a new path for hairdressing. And we are convinced it is the path of the future.
Coiffage & Style
2 days — in person
For transformed hands.
Everyone learns to cut. But who teaches how to style?
Even a perfect cut loses its impact if it is not brought to life. The blow-dry is the final gesture that reveals the whole style — and yet it is almost no longer taught.
At Connivence, we are the only academy in France to have made it a course of genuine excellence.
Coupe men's
2 days — in person
Rethinking men's cutting beyond the fade.
Before cutting, you must know how to observe. And above all, redefine your tools and how you use them.
No hacking away here, but true finishing work — precise, controlled, elegant, in the manner of a cabinetmaker.
Through unassailable logic, controlled simplicity and rare precision, every hairdresser leaves with a dexterity they did not imagine on arriving.
It is striking. And deeply instructive.
Updo & Chignon
2 days — in person
The right updo, as we see it.
We have often seen it: hair cannot be forced. It is listened to, read, respected… rather like the women it accompanies.
In this course we pass on the foundations for creating updos that are elegant, balanced, free of artifice — and full of grace.
For us, beauty is played out in simplicity — provided it is carried by rigour of hand… and intention of heart.
