About Angela Rose

Founder of Indie Hair Academy
Helping hairdressers build confidence, courage, and careers they truly love.

My Story

Hi I’m Angela, a hairdresser, educator, and the founder of Indie Hair Academy.

I started out exactly where many hairdressers do: scissors in hand, big heart, huge passion… and absolutely no roadmap for running a business. I was great at hair, but behind the scenes I struggled........

Pricing felt awkward, marketing felt overwhelming, and no one had taught me how to turn my skills into a sustainable income.

So I learned the hard way. Through trial, error, late nights, and real-life experience, I figured out how to build a successful independent business one that gave me confidence, stability, and freedom. And once I did, I knew I couldn’t keep that knowledge to myself.

Indie Hair Academy was born from that moment.

What Indie Hair Academy Stands For

Indie Hair Academy is more than a coaching program. It’s a movement for hairdressers who want more .

More clarity, more confidence, and more control over their future.

Everything we do is grounded in real-world experience and practical support. No fluff. No corporate jargon. Just clear guidance that helps you turn your creativity into independence.

We believe in:

Courage backing yourself and taking the leap with confidence
Empowerment learning the skills and mindset to succeed
Freedom designing a business that fits your life, not the other way around
Community being supported by people who truly get the journey

You don’t have to do this alone.

Together, we build strong foundations for businesses and lives that feel aligned, sustainable, and fulfilling.

My Mission

To empower hairdressers to build financially secure, freedom-filled careers without sacrificing their wellbeing or creativity.

When you understand how your business works, everything changes. You earn with confidence. You set boundaries with ease. And you get to focus on what you do best: creating, connecting, and living life on your own terms.

Welcome to Indie Hair Academy.
You didn’t land here by chance you’re here because you’re ready for more.

Why I’m Different

I'm not a corporate business coach who’s never stepped behind the chair. I’m a hairdresser who has lived it.

I understand the long days, the emotional labour, the client juggling, and the burnout that can creep in when passion isn’t matched with structure. That’s why everything I teach is practical, relatable, and designed to be used immediately.

Inside Indie Hair Academy, you’ll find step-by-step systems, templates, and support that make business feel achievable and even exciting.

My role is to simplify the process so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
