Hair Academy — Frequently Asked Questions
美发学院 — 常见问题

Do I need any prior experience to enrol at Kimarie Hair Academy?
No. Our Ten-Month Advanced Diploma is specifically designed for complete beginners and walks you through basic, intermediate, advanced and creative stages step-by-step. If you already have some salon experience, our Six-Month Academy Diploma or advanced short courses may be a better fit.
Are Kimarie's hairdressing courses recognised by the Malaysian government?
Yes. Kimarie Academy is accredited by the Department of Skills Development (JPK), Ministry of Human Resources, and our programmes lead to the Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia (SKM) at Levels 2 and 3. Our Accreditation Centre Code is L00264.
How long are the hairdressing courses?
Course durations range from 1 week (Creative Haircutting) up to 40 weeks (Ten-Month Advanced Diploma). Refresher courses are flexible from 1 to 8 weeks based on your individual goals. SKM Level 2 runs for 6 months and SKM Level 3 runs for 12 months.
Where are the Kimarie Hair Academy campuses located?
We have two campuses: Bukit Bintang in Kuala Lumpur (48A Level 1, Jalan Bukit Bintang, 55100 KL) and SS2 in Petaling Jaya (10A & 10B, 1st – 2nd Floor, Jalan SS 2/66, 47300 PJ). Both campuses deliver the same accredited curriculum.
Will Kimarie help me find a job after I graduate?
Yes. Every Kimarie graduate benefits from our Job Placement Guarantee. Thanks to our long-standing reputation, we collaborate with numerous partner salons across the Klang Valley and place graduates directly with them — so you can start your career without the usual job-hunting delay.
Can I apply for a student loan?
Yes. Qualified candidates can apply for student loans through Perbadanan Tabung Pembangunan Kemahiran (PTPK). Speak to our Education Advisors for guidance on eligibility, required documents and the application process.
Do students train on real customers or mannequins?
From the intermediate stage onwards, all lessons are conducted in simulated salon environments using only live models. This ensures students are exposed to a wide range of real hair textures and facial forms — experience that mannequins simply cannot provide.
How do I enrol or get more information?
WhatsApp or call our Bukit Bintang campus at 03-2148 0800 or our SS2 PJ campus at 03-7877 4607. You can also email info@kimarie.com.my and our Education Advisors will get back to you with course details, fees and enrolment dates.
