Thinking about enrolling full-time and wondering what a week actually looks like? Here’s an honest walk-through.
Classes run Monday to Friday, combining knowledge modules like hair and skin science, chemical services, and communication and sales with hands-on practical training in cutting, colouring, and styling. You’re never just sitting through theory for its own sake; every module ties directly back to something you’ll practise on a real head of hair.
On Wednesdays, our student salon opens its doors to real clients, giving full-time learners supervised, real-world salon experience well before they graduate. It’s often the point where students say the training finally ‘clicks’ — there’s nothing like a client’s reaction to a finished style to sharpen your skills.
Once your practical and knowledge modules are complete, you move into your workplace experience hours, with our strongest students getting the opportunity to complete these in our own full-time salon. From there, it’s on to the final summative assessment and trade test.
It’s a full week, but a structured one — and every hour is building toward a City & Guilds-eligible, nationally recognised qualification.
