With an increase in celebrities sporting many complicated, unusual hairstyles and hair colours, the demand for more adventurous hair is on the rise. New technologies in hair extensions and colouration provide students with the opportunity to learn many new skills. Our students train in our fully commercial salon with all the latest equipment, so they are given the chance to perform treatments on real life customers. We'll introduce you to the latest trends and techniques, encouraging you to push yourself to a higher level at exhibitions, competitions and our end of year show.
I love the practical side of my Hairdressing course, trying new techniques within a Kinaesthetic style of learning. Stefani Pereira, Hairdressing Student
Hairdressing - Level 2
Stefani joined Merton after visitng the college and being welcomed by friendly and helpful staff.
Stefani said: "I really enjoy Hairdressing because of the practical work, I love trying new things and I learn better with a Kinaesthetic style learning. Merton College really takes the time to provide extra learning for students with learning difficulties and as a result my grades in Maths and English have improved massively and I feel more confident in my lessons. I am now looking ahead to progress to Level 3."
Stefani has now started Hairdressing Level 3 and is also applying to do a course in Barbering to expand her knowledge.
