You will work in a practical-based hairdressing salon and beauty spa, completing both hairdressing and beauty services.

This will see you working with each other and clients to complete practical tasks and gain a better understanding of what it is like to be a beauty therapist or a hairdresser. Upon completion, you will gain skills in dressing long hair, applying shampoo and hair treatments, client consultation for make-up services, and learning the fundamentals of skin and nails.
