Taylor Weir (TAYLORWEIR) is a private training school for hairdressers and barbers in Northbridge, Western Australia, located at Level 1, Arcade 189, William Street. It has trained hairdressers and barbers since 1996 and teaches only these two trades. According to the school, it won the 2023 Australian Hair Industry Award in the Education Organisation category.

For Australian residents in Western Australia, hairdressing and barbering qualifications are taken through an apprenticeship. The school's courses include:

• Certificate III in Hairdressing
• Certificate III in Barbering
• Accelerated Learning Pathway in hairdressing and barbering
• Certificate II in Salon Assistant, as a traineeship or for secondary school students
• Recognition of Prior Learning for working barbers

International students study full time, three days a week, alongside local apprentices. The Certificate III in Hairdressing, the minimum trade qualification for hairdressing in Australia, takes 46 weeks; the Certificate III in Barbering takes 24 weeks. A 24-week preparatory course with work placement is available for students without hairdressing experience, and graduates of the hairdressing certificate can add barbering as a dual qualification. Students practise on mannequins and then on live models.
