Recruitment
As a result of the celebrity status that many successful hairdressers now enjoy we have seen a remarkable increase in the amount of young people wishing to enter the world of hairdressing. A career in hairdressing can offer a fantastic variety of opportunities for those eager and willing to take up the challenge.You may choose to start your career as a Saturday Assistant whilst you are still at school, this will give you a good indication as to whether you have made the right career choice. School-leavers may start a work based training, two-year Modern Apprenticeship to achieve an NVQ Level 2 in Hairdressing with further opportunities to take an Advanced Modern Apprenticeship to achieve NVQ Level 3. For those wishing to go on to salon management there is the NVQ Level 4.
When you have completed your formal training you can go on to specialise as a Colour Specialist or Hair Consultant. For those who enjoy the creative aspects of hairdressing you can work towards joining your salon's Art Team and get involved with competition and photographic work. Who knows you could be the next Nicky Clarke, Charles Worthington or Jo Hansford.
