The Course in Detail

On the first session of the course, the students will have a demonstration of a hair cut and instruction on Health and Safety. During this lesson, learners will receive advice on what equipment to purchase for the remainder of the course.

Throughout the course, several handouts about haircutting will be given.  Advice can be given on other hairdressing procedures.  On further weeks the students will be asked to bring a head block to practice on. You will learn through a combination of learning theory, observing demonstrations, and practical tasks.

Upon completion of the course, you will be able to do basic cuts, such as a bob and a basic layer cut.

A College certificate will be awarded on request.
