We offer several advanced training courses per year, and each season franchisees receive the technical support they need to give trendy haircuts. The courses enable new and experienced employees to learn techniques specific to each brand and perfect their artistic, technical and creative skills. In close collaboration with artistic directors, the centers test and help develop new hair-care products for the group. A precursor in the 1980s, offering classes to train its teams in reception, dialogue and communication in its hair salons, DESSANGE International also offers management and team management courses for its managers. This advanced training system has been duplicated to also train salon beauticians and cosmeticians. In 2011, DESSANGE International announces the launching of DESSANGE Learning Lounge, an online training platform for all DESSANGE employees in France and worldwide.
