COURSE

OVERVIEW

This course has been designed to teach you all the skills required to work in the hairdressing industry, from the promotion of products and services to your clients to monitoring and maintaining health and safety practice within the salon.
You will also learn about client care and client focused practice, as well as effective communication. You will study in our purpose-built hairdressing and beauty salons stocked with all the essentials to create your desired looks.
During the practical sessions, you will further develop your skills in cutting, styling, colouring and finishing your client’s hair, as well as providing specialist consultation services for hair and scalp treatments based on questioning, observations and test results.
Our salons are open to the public so you will be working within a professional environment from the start of your course. This course is recognised by the UK’s leading professional body (The Hairdressing Council). Students will practice on real clients and may also practice treatments on other students on the same course at Kirklees College.
