Future prospects

Many apprentices are given jobs with the employers they trained with as Assistant stylists, others go onto further studies.

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.
