INTRODUCTION
A career in Hairdressing or Beauty Therapy offers people from all walks of life an
excellent opportunity to start their own profitable business, either working from home,
mobile, in a salon or health spa.
Being in complete control of the amount of hours you work, leaves plenty of time to
meet family commitments without disturbing normal daily routine. Earnings in excess
of £27.00 an hour can easily be achieved.
Many of our students have never been involved in the Hair & Beauty industry before
and can find the thought of studying slightly intimidating. Our team of highly qualified
tutors are available to give as much help and support to each student as required.
On-going support is available to all of our students. Either via telephone, email or
popping in to chat about any problems that may arise.
We only teach in small groups of students at any given time, because it's of the utmost
importance to give each individual the attention they need to achieve a high level of
competence during their time of training.
Once training is completed each student will feel confident and motivated enough to
take the first steps towards creating an income from their new skills.
We provide the practical ‘hands-on’ approach and all materials used during training
are free of charge.

THE HAIRDRESSING INDUSTRY
Hairdressing is one of the skills that is widely recognised as being perfectly suited
to self-employment. It is also virtually recession-proof, people will always need
their hair cutting, even if they choose to cut back on other treatments.
Hair grows, no matter what a person’s financial situation. How many people do
you know that will leave their hair very long before they have at least a trim? Not
many people will allow their grey hair to grow too long before getting it coloured.
Hairdressers are ideally placed to build a life and a career for themselves, that is
solely dependant on their own skills and efforts.
Mobile Hairdressing has become more popular in recent years, one factor which
has changed the public’s perception of mobile hairdressing, is the changes in our
busy 21st Century lifestyles. With the current Credit Crunch, the mobile hairdresser
does not have the same overheads to pass on that a Salon has and there are always
clients who prefer to have their hair done at home.
Many working mothers find that being able to have the whole family’s hair done at
home in the evening or weekend is a huge bonus, saving both time, effort and
money.
