Career In Hairdressing
We will guide you through all the options you have when choosing hairdressing as a career, and these options will ensure that you can create a career that is successful, that you love.
Professional Attitude/Communication Skills and Client Consultation
One of the most important skills as a hairdresser is being able to handle clients and understand their needs closely, so you can give them the perfect service.
Skin, Hair, and Scalp
An essential part of being a successful hairdresser is being able to look after the hair and scalp health of your clients. We will teach you the science and physiology of hair and scalp so you will have a more in-depth understanding of the services you give, and you can give your customers helpful advice so they keep coming back to you.
Shampoo, Conditioning, and Head Massage
This is one of the most valuable skills that can be developed by any hairdresser. Providing a customer with an excellent hair wash and massage means that they will come back to the Salon looking for you.
Blowdry
Another important skill for any hairdresser is blow drying. By developing your skills to blowdry properly, customers will keep coming back to you. A good blowdry will make your clients look fabulous and keep them coming back repeatedly.
