Our Hairdressing Apprenticeship

Imagine stepping into a creative and dynamic environment where you can turn your passion for hair into a rewarding career. A hairdressing apprenticeship is not just a job – it’s a journey of self-discovery, skill-building, and artistic expression. By starting on a hairdressing apprenticeship, you’re not just signing up for a job – you’re investing in a fulfilling career.

The Level 2 Apprenticeship will suit you if you’re just starting out in hairdressing or have some knowledge and basic skills in the industry – probably from a role where you work under supervision. Due to the constant development of the hair and beauty industry, there’s always a demand for hairdressers and with more and more opportunities becoming available all the time.
Hairdressers will be able to shampoo and condition hair, cut hair using a range of techniques, style and finish hair to create a variety of looks, and colour and lighten hair for ladies and men.

Hairdressers must be able to work with all hair types ranging from straight hair to very curly, wiry hair. They also need to be able to carry out consultations with clients, demonstrate the professionalism, values, behaviours, communication skills and safe working practices associated with their role and be able to work without supervision to a high level of precision, with exceptional client care skills.
