I built Refraction because I was tired of watching great hairstylists lose their potential in systems that cared more about product sales than real growth.
For years I stood backstage, in salons, on set, and inside classrooms and kept seeing the same thing: talented people held back by vague education,trend-chasing that never built long-term skill.

I’m Danny van Tuijl, an educator and creative director with over 15 years across salons, shows, collections and teams throughout Europe.
My work centres on structure, critique and rebuilding from clarity—
stylists describe my sessions as precise, challenging and freeing.
We remove habits, sharpen your eye, and push your craft forward in a measurable way.

Refraction gives hairstylists direction:
clear methodology, technical discipline and creative support to develop your own voice—not someone else’s trend.

And we don’t do it alone.
Refraction is rooted in collaboration, bringing together artists with different skillsets and perspectives to create better work, better thinking, and better results.

This is not trend education.
This is craft, intention and growth—made for stylists who want to shape, not follow.
