Introduction

The Hair & Beauty industry employs more than 230,000 people who are dedicated to helping people to look and feel their best. To work in this industry you will need creative flair, teamwork and communications skills and there are many different career paths to suit your specific skills and interests. As well as hair styling, there’s a growing demand for spa therapists and alternative practitioners. Working hours and conditions will vary, from local salons to large multi-specialist spas, and many people in the health and beauty industry go on to run their own businesses or work from their homes after they have learned their trade over a period of years.

At College, we can offer you the chance to gain all the skills that you will need to begin a successful career in the hair, beauty and holistic therapies industries. You will have the opportunity to train in the high class facilities at BROOKS, our commercial hair and beauty salon. Our courses will equip you with all the professional skills, competencies and knowledge you will need to work in the industry. To enable you to gain as much hands-on work experience as possible, we also offer apprenticeships in hairdressing.

You will also have the opportunity to take additional qualifications as part of your studies, for example in customer service or self-tanning, which will enhance your employability when you leave College.
