You will be guided by industry professionals and have the opportunity to practice on your own models within the industry standard salon. You will build on skills that you acquired during the level 2 qualification and practise to develop your practice so that you are able to not only cut, style and colour but also correct and train hair so that you can work towards developing your own long term client base.
