Anneliese

    • Director Humankind Hair

    • International Educator

    • Certified Trichologist

    • Employed Hairdresser @ Tribe Clapham, London

  • As a certified Trichologist, experienced educator and colourist of 20 years, Anneliese’s wealth of knowledge, both scientific and practical, are unrivalled.

    Anneliese believes that truly understanding WHY you’re doing WHAT you’re doing, is vital to the learning experience. She’s passionate about education and empowering people to feel calm and confident behind the chair.

    Originally from Kent, Anneliese moved to London 13 years ago to further her career. She began teaching for L’Oreal; running the Colour Specialist Degree, ID Artist programme and hosting the L’Oreal Colour Trophy, before moving on to oversee education for other global hair brands.

    In 2020 she decided it was time to utilise her skills and experience to their full extent, for education she truly believed in without the limitations of working brand side - Humankind Hair was born.

    Forever seeking yet more knowledge, in 2021 Anneliese trained in trichology in order to find answers to her own unanswered questions. Since passing the course with flying colours, she shares this knowledge and builds elements of trichology into every course she teaches.

    “I truly believe that when we understand the scientific and technical aspects of hairdressing, not only are we more confident, we provide a much more valuable service to our clients, too. There is a lack of trichology information readily available to hairdressers, but clients are asking us these questions all the time, and expecting us to know the answers. This is why I decided to invest in myself to become a certified Trichologist. My passion now is to share this with others; clients and colourists alike, to bring more knowledge, joy, and confidence to both.”

Elle

    • Educator @ Humankind Hair

    • Winner L’Oreal Colour Trophy Star Award 2022

    • Project Colour 2023 Fellowship for British Hairdressing

    • Hairdresser/Manager @ Tribe Clapham, London

  • Elle is one of those rare finds you only probably come across once or twice in your career. With just three years experience, her journey has not been the ‘normal’ one…

    She started in the industry first as receptionist, then managing her family’s salon before falling in love with hairdressing and deciding to get trained up herself. After completing an intensive 6 month crash-course, she was just getting started when the pandemic hit and everything ground to a halt.

    Post pandemic threw Elle in at the deep end. Can you imagine being a newly qualified stylist and dealing with alllll those colour corrections we faced post lockdown, 12 hour days, and usually about an hour to complete them because of course no one knows what we’re dealing with until the client walks in the door? She had to learn FAST.

    At the same time as this Anneliese started working at Elle’s family’s salon (Tribe, London Clapham) and took her under her wing. Humankind Hair was just launching and Elle began assisting on every single course, rapidly growing and proving herself a valuable team member.

    Three years later she is an extremely competent colourist, covering the majority of Anneliese’s clients whilst on maternity leave, and teaching both nationally and internationally.

    Oh, and she just went and won her first ever colour competition. Not bad, hey?
