New Online Learning Platform Launches Oct. 21

After the January 2020 grand opening of its 8,500-square-foot academy space in Manhattan, Moroccanoil® was already poised to significantly expand its educational offerings for pro stylists…and then a global pandemic happened.

Not to be deterred, the global company quickly pivoted—and now, the brand has another major announcement. Moroccanoil Professionals Online Education, launching Oct. 21, is its new digital education platform providing hands-on, customized education to stylists across the world.

“The stylist community has been a key contributor to the success of Moroccanoil from the very beginning. During this time, when attending in-person Moroccanoil Academy workshops is more difficult, this online forum allows us to further our commitment to the stylist community by providing them with new forms of elevated education,” says Moroccanoil Co-founder Carmen Tal.
