I found the college very helpful. Meeting other young girls in the same year as myself and understanding how other salons worked gave me a lot of experience. College was amazing for my confidence. I would highly recommend this course for the theory alone so you understand not just how to style/colour/perm but to what exactly you are doing to the hair, head and scalp. From doing this course I have now the confidence, experience and knowledge to run my own hair salon the past 5 years, Catherine is a brilliant teacher she had ways of showing and explaining things you will never forget and I still see myself using her quotes and using her techniques to this day!

I loved every minute of the course. I wouldn’t be where I am now without the help from two fantastic hairdressers, Kevin and Catherine who taught me a lot during the year. Such an enjoyable year. I would highly recommend the course.
