Requirements and prospects

Desired skills

Hairdressing is a fast moving, fashion orientated business, so you will need to:

  • Be creative
  • Enjoy meeting people
  • Have a lot of energy

You don’t have to be the academic type and there are no set entry criteria for the Hairdressing Apprenticeship.

You would also need to:

  • Be well presented in all aspects including clothing and personal hygiene
  • Be practical and well organised
  • Be a good communicator with excellent social skills
  • Have attention to detail and cleanliness
  • Have a good sense of humour and be polite whether dealing face to face with clients or speaking on the telephone
  • Be willing to work flexible hours/days as agreed in the employment contract
  • Have a high degree of dexterity and coordination

Desired qualifications

You won't need qualifications to apply but you will need the motivation and commitment to want to become a hairdresser or barber.

Future prospects

Many apprentices are given jobs with the employers they trained with as Assistant stylists, others go onto further studies. Apprentices are often fast-tracked by their employers for promotion to more superior positions. Hairdressing and barbering skills are also required in the theatre, film, TV and magazine work.

Things to consider

The apprenticeship programme will take up to 15-18 months to complete. During this time you will be expected to attend the academy one day a week and four days a week in the salon - you earn while you learn.
