Are you considering a career in the hairdressing industry, becoming a hairdresser in a salon, a mobile hairdresser, travel the world on a cruise ship, or maybe even dream of owning your own hair salon one day?

Here at SMB College Group we provide a high standard course helping you to learn and develop to be the best hairdresser you can be. Our industry experts will apply workshops to help further develop your training. Enrichment such as ear piercing, colour workshops and a visit to the Hair UK show ?the nation?s finest hairdressing trade event? will ensure your skills are current and that you are well prepared to work within the hairdressing industry.

  • What will I learn?
    You will learn how health and safety impacts working in the hairdressing industry, reception duties, client consultations, shampooing and conditioning, styling and dressing hair, cutting, colouring, aftercare and theory knowledge for all units.
  • Where could this course lead to?
    Once a level 2 diploma in hairdressing studies has been completed, the next stage in the progression is to complete level 3 hairdressing. On level 3 hairdressing you will build on your previous knowledge obtained in level 2, developing your knowledge and skills enabling you to work effectively as an advanced hairdresser. Some of the units you will cover are: advanced cutting, styling and colouring techniques, colour correction, bridal hairstyling and marketing for the hair and beauty sector. If this doesn?t sound like you, career opportunities as a level 2 junior hairdresser exist in a variety of contexts, including: commercial hair salons, independent/self-employed/mobile/ home-based settings, product manufacturing and training, television/media/ film and theatre, Armed services, HM prison service, or cruise liners.

    4 GCSEs at Grade 4, with a requirement for Maths and English. If you miss the English and/or Maths requirements of your course, don't worry - there are options to study these alongside your course.
