Hairdressing training in Marseille, at 442 rue Paradis: colour, balayage and extensions, handed over by Lila in her own salon, doors closed. Twenty years of craft since 2006, four trainees maximum, and real models in the afternoon.
☏ 04 91 76 14 38 Programme & datesTake one, or take them in sequence. Each has its own page, its own programme and its own rhythm — and each is built around what you are actually missing.
The full grammar: tone levels, undertones, developers, grey coverage, cool blondes, correction. On organic, PPD-free colour.
The programme →Placing the light, running a bleach, toning. The technical day that makes your balayage consistent from one client to the next.
The programme →Consultation, colour-matching added hair, invisible application, maintenance and removal — from a Great Lengths certified salon.
The programme →Not mass beginner classes: four people, each with a precise reason to be there. Here is who walks through the door.
Your cutting is solid, colour or application still fights back. You want to stop crossing your fingers and know why it works when it works.
Diploma in hand, clean theory, little practice. Here you do ten times more in one day, with someone standing behind your shoulder.
Nobody to ask, nobody to fix it. A day here is the team you do not have — and a number to call afterwards.
You are seriously considering it and want to touch the craft before committing. A discovery day, in a real salon, on a real colour day.
Mannequin heads in the morning: repeat, fail, start again, nothing at stake. Real models in the afternoon, with the consultation, the timing and the pressure of a genuine appointment. Lunch in the patio in between.
No range to shift, no national protocol to recite. We work with what is on the shelf — organic, PPD-free colour — and tell you plainly what is worth its price.
Le Faubourg is a salon, not a Qualiopi-certified training centre: no CPF or OPCO funding, no official certificate. A private workshop — and a price that reflects it in your favour.
No slideshow, no rows of desks. The basins, the chairs, the colour lab and the light of 442 rue Paradis — and models who leave properly done.
The salon sits at the crossroads of the 8th: Périer metro on line 2, A50 and A7 exits minutes away, Saint-Charles station a quarter of an hour off. Half the people who come are not from Marseille.
Périer, Prado, Castellane, Saint-Giniez, Le Rouet, Bonneveine, Vieille-Chapelle
Old Port, Préfecture, Baille, La Plaine, Mazargues, Sainte-Anne, La Timone, Saint-Charles station
Aubagne, Allauch, Plan-de-Cuques, Gémenos, Carnoux, Cassis, La Ciotat
Aix-en-Provence, Vitrolles, Marignane, Gardanne, Martigues, Istres, Salon-de-Provence, Toulon
Around thirty minutes from Aix-en-Provence or Aubagne, forty from La Ciotat, Vitrolles or Martigues. Days start late enough for the drive to stay comfortable — and dates are set with you.
Working hairdressers who want to make their color solid, recent graduates who left school with theory and little practice, freelance and home-visit stylists who work alone, and career-changers or motivated beginners who want to know what they are getting into. Groups are deliberately mixed: you learn faster next to someone who came from somewhere else.
Not to come and learn — a discovery day is open to motivated beginners. But to be clear: practising hairdressing in France still requires the CAP, and the brevet professionnel to run your own salon. These days add a technique and an eye; they do not replace a diploma.
It depends on the format (small group or one-to-one) and on the programme we build together. There is no price list online: call +33 4 91 76 14 38 or message @lilafaubourg on Instagram, and Lila answers with the detailed programme and the exact price.
No. Le Faubourg is a salon, not a Qualiopi-certified training body: there is no CPF or OPCO funding and no official certificate. It is a private workshop in real conditions with the person who does the work every day — and the price reflects that in your favour.
At the salon itself, 442 rue Paradis in Marseille’s 8th district, on days when it is closed to the public: the basins, chairs, colour lab and light are yours. Périer metro (line 2) is a few minutes away, the A50 and A7 exits are close, street parking available.
Both, in that order. Mannequin heads in the morning: repeat the gesture with nothing at stake, fail, start again. Real models in the afternoon, with the consultation, the timing and the pressure of a genuine appointment. That is where the day earns its keep.
Four at most, often two or three, and a one-to-one format exists. Beyond that you watch instead of doing — and watching never taught anyone to place a balayage.
Half the people who come do exactly that. Around thirty minutes from Aix-en-Provence or Aubagne, forty from La Ciotat, Vitrolles or Martigues. Days start late enough in the morning for the drive to stay comfortable, and dates are set with you.
Yes: the formula sheets you write yourself during the day, the before/after photos of your own work, and an open line on Instagram when a colour puzzles you weeks later. That follow-up is what people mention most.
