creatively assess client requirements
shampoo and condition hair
cut, style and finish hair using a range of techniques
colour and lighten hair
work with all hair types including short, long, straight and curly

The course will give you the confidence to carry-out consultations with clients, whilst demonstrating the professionalism, values, behaviours, communication skills and safe working practices associated with the role. You will also become able to work without supervision to a high level of precision with exceptional client care skills.

Testimonies

“Personally, organic grows better than recruiting outside of your company, I enjoy having apprentices with you for 2-3 years and then becoming a stylist. They always know how the salon works…it’s really easy for them to build a client base.” Taz, The Birdcage Salon

“Completing my apprentice was a very big achievement for myself. I feel that I’ve come really far…because when I first started, I was quite shy. Working with the public gained me a lot of confidence” Rosie, Level 2 Apprentice

“I’m really impressed with the one-to-one sessions with Heart of England Training, it’s like a private training session that the girls receive from them. It’s extremely well monitored and they’re very supportive, if you’ve got any questions, they’re always on the other end of the phone” Millie and Co Salon
