"Working on a client in a ‘real life’ scenario in the College's Headmasters Salon is unbeatable!" FIRYAL ARNEIL, HAIR & BARBERING STUDENT
Gaining hands on experience in the College salon is one of the best experiences of the course. From putting all the previous cutting skills and knowledge in the training sessions to working on a client in a ‘real life’ scenario is unbeatable! This is where I personally felt that all the theory and previous practice sessions really started to make sense.
Interacting with the tutors on the course has always been positive as well as being guided by their years of experience and knowledge is invaluable as a new student. The tutors guided me at a pace that I was comfortable with and often with great patience as well as humour to get myself and the other students through the training. As a result of achieving my barbering qualification, this has offered new opportunities in my current role as a makeup artist and hair stylist. I am now studying Level 2 hairdressing to build on these skills and enhance my knowledge in hairstyling.
