Your Educators
Nathan Yip
Hi, I’m Nathan Yip father of three young kids and owner of Pretty Vacant salon suite and customised education business.
There are two things in life that I love the most and am really good at, that is being a dad and being a hairdresser.
I joined the industry late after experimenting in many different industries finally “falling” into hairdressing, where I found a place where I belonged and felt accepted but also allowed for all my skills and natural abilities to culminate into one use.
Since joining the industry over a decade ago I have had some incredible professional highlights and some life long memories!
I have worked for and alongside some of Australia’s and the worlds best artists in salon, on stage teaching and presenting and backstage on fashion shows and photoshoots. My purpose and passion now lies in education, helping uplift and up-skill hairdressers to feel more validated and valued in themselves and in their work.
I specialise in customised in salon education, where salons hire me to come and work with their team and I deliver a truly tailored class for the salon but for each individual depending on their learning and communication styles.
I am 100% committed to raising the profile of hairdressing and believe this will come through the power of community. This is why I have co-founded a series of events under the brand “The Bootleg Project” which is a community focused education evening/house party designed to create a safe and comfortable space for hairdressers to gather, talk and learn, at the same time offering an opportunity for up and coming artists to present their work. My approach to hair is, first of all make it suitable and customised to the person in front of me, but my aim when cutting hair is to offer the highest amount of versatility and ease. Just simple low maintenance beautiful hair.
