Madame Ramdoolarie Maharaj founded the school in 1957. She trained in Paris, where she earned the title “Madame,” and came home to open the first hairdressing academy in Trinidad and Tobago. The school is still family owned and is led today by her granddaughter, Aruna Maharaj.

We have one location, at 23 Todd Street, San Fernando. Our students come from all over Trinidad, Tobago and the wider Caribbean.

There is no standard price, because it depends on things like location, whether you need us to stay for touch-ups, how many other people need hair and makeup, and the type of wedding. Indian weddings, for example, often need saree tying. Come in for a free consultation, meet our glam squad, and we will give you a price.
