If you enjoy hairstyling and like meeting different people, this could be the perfect job for you.
Hairdressers cut, colour and shape clients' hair to create what the client wants. You have the option to train as a hairdresser either full-time or part-time as an apprentice, where you would learn on the job and go to college on day release. To become a hairdresser, you will need to have excellent customer service and 'people' skills. You will need creativity and a willingness to learn new techniques and methods.
