Course programme

As a junior hairdresser, you would carry out tasks like:

  • greeting customers
  • shampooing hair
  • simple cutting
  • making sure towels and supplies are ready for use
  • ensuring the salon is clean and tidy.

As a senior hairdresser, you would talk to clients about how they want their hair done, and give them advice and suggest style ideas.

Your work would include:

  • shampooing and conditioning
  • cutting and styling
  • colouring, perming or straightening
  • advising on minor hair and scalp problems
  • making appointments and handling payments
  • ordering materials
  • making sure that hair products containing chemicals are used and stored correctly.

You could specialise in working with particular clients or techniques, for example in a men's barber shop or pressing, braiding and plaiting Afro-Caribbean hair.


Hairdressing includes:

  • booking appointments
  • shampooing
  • conditioning
  • drying and styling hair
  • mixing and applying hair colouring

You'll study topics such as hair and skin testing, the effects of chemicals on hair and skin, and the principles of hair colour selection – there’s also the option to learn about promoting products, perming, or relaxing different types of hair.

Advanced apprentices take their learning a step further by developing their cutting and colouring skills so they can carry out all the latest fashion techniques – and maybe even determine the fashion looks of the future
