The training you will be getting

Apprenticeships combine on-the-job and off-the-job training. This means you'll spend time in a hairdressing salon working and learning the relevant skills to develop your competence in hairdressing. You will gain an understanding of the knowledge and practical skills associated with hairdressing, have an opportunity to work with real clients and real products as well as vital skills such as customer care, teamwork and retail skills including studying to achieve your Functional Skill in English & Maths at Level 2 if required.

Apprenticeships are a work-based qualification that is designed to ensure that at the end of your apprenticeship programme you are job ready. If you are passionate about hairdressing we are waiting to hear from you! You will work towards a Level 2 Diploma for Hair Professionals qualification.

What to expect at the end of your apprenticeship
