COURSE

OVERVIEW

This course has been designed to teach you all the skills required to work within the hairdressing industry, as well as the promotion of products and services to your clients. This course is recognised by the UK’s leading professional body (The Hairdressing Council).
Throughout the course, you will be taught how to monitor and maintain health and safety, you will learn about client care and how to effectively communicate with your clients to meet their demand as all these skills are essential to work in the hairdressing industry.
During this practical course, you will get hands-on experience of shampooing, conditioning and treating the hair and scalp, using a variety of products and massage techniques. You will gain the skills to cut hair using some basic techniques, colour the hair using semi-permanent and permanent dye and style your client’s hair to complete the look.
You will be able to learn within our purpose-built hairdressing and beauty salons stocked with all the essentials to create your desired looks. Our salons are open to the public, so you will be working within a professional environment from the start of your course. Students will practice on real clients and may also practice treatments on other students on the same course at Kirklees College.
