Lesonne Academy

I had the great pleasure of working alongside Ruchika, in the five days intensive Bridal Hair Mastery course in Lesonne Academy. I had gone into the course with absolutely no previous knowledge or experience with hair, a beginner of the craft. With confidence, I can say that I had a great experience with the program, and would recommend it for anyone who is looking to learn and master hair for personal or professional reasons. This course is taught personally by Ruchika herself. All I can say is she definitely lives up to the reputation of giving each client her absolute best work. In this course, Ruchika doesn’t simply teach you generic styles but also teaches you the tools, and steps to build and design your own styles for any trend. Believe it or not, but the course took place with the minimal use of hair products (which was quite the shock for me). The class is taught styles that are neat, complex, and with a variety of hair types that challenge you.  I went into this program without realizing what I was getting myself into, however, it was definitely memorable. Throughout the course, Ruchika shares her experiences assists with weaknesses and encourages questions. The class is typically very small, where any student can feel comfortable asking questions to Ruchika directly, in one on one conversations. She does not hold back at all and answers all types of questions, even if it is trivial. I can say with certainty that Ruchika's honesty and constructive criticism will definitely help you reach the next level in mastering hair. The course is certainly intense and a lot of information is given, so it does need to be taken seriously. From the fundamental training to the advanced each step will become important in mastering hair. It is definitely a practice-based program, where the two evaluations serve as a reminder to all students to continue practicing and honing their skills. It pushes you to improve, develop, and perfect your skills. Although I can understand the concern of pricing, the reality is whether you are a novice or advanced, every person who goes into this class will surely see development or some sort of improvement in their skills. The only thing that you personally would need to bring would be a curling wand (at times), and a straightener. The course will provide with the rest of the equipment required to do any style from human hair extensions to the hair spray. The class is broken down into lessons in which Ruchika teaches, and practice time where students can have training and mentoring. She even goes out of her way to ensure every student grasps the technique, even looking to improve and alter her teaching method to suit the needs of her students. At the end of the program, she even sets up a professional photo shoot for the students that passed, that will showcase the skills that you have learned. Walking away from this experience I am aware of my weaknesses, growth, and areas of strength. I am incredibly grateful to have been able to have learned from her directly and to have taken the course. I encourage many others to take the chance and participate in this course you surely won’t regret it.

First and foremost Ruchika and her family are just phenomenal people. Words truly cannot describe how grateful I am to have gotten to learn from this amazing soul. This Class has taught me so much. It has really changed the way I think and the way I do hair. Ruchika is so patient and really cares about the students. She does not hold back & answers all the questions. One thing I really appreciated is that if you can't seem to grasp a technique, she really takes the time to think about how she can alter the technique for you to understand the concept in your way. She does not teach you just a few styles, she teaches you the basic foundation for you to get creative so that you can create any style. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, I highly recommend this class. #bestteacherever

The hair course was a valuable experience. Ruchika is an amazing teacher. I learned so much I didn't know before. Thank you Ruchika for being the amazing person you are!

I was a makeup artist who seriously needed help in the hair department. I took the 5 day Bridal Hair course last year with LeSonne Academy and I am so happy I did! The atmosphere of Ruchikas Salon is very friendly and happy. It motivates for beautiful creations. Ruchika was great at answering all my questions right away. She puts all efforts to ensure that her students understand the program and gain all required skills. Although the program is intense and we did learn a lot, it still felt like fun and I never noticed how much time would pass. Ruchika/ LeSonne Academy gave me the confidence to create beautiful hairstyles that was hard to believe I could ever do. Amazing experience!

If you are looking for a good upstyling class , then this course is perfect for you. I took the five day course with Ruchika. She starts off teaching the basics (curling hair with a straightener, three strand braiding, placement of bobby pins, teasing, different type of curls, sectioning and prepping hair for the upstyle, etc). Then she goes into the more advance stuff of how to actually manipulate the hair for an updo. She explains thoroughly and has a very sweet, caring personality. At the end of the course, we were given an opportunity to be a part of a professional photoshoot; which was a great learning experience. Overall, this course was an awesome experience!
