Be part of the 'Learning Company'
As a hair and beauty student you will also get the opportunity to take part in our unique learning company – a chance to take your passion for hair and beauty into a real-world workplace context.
We operate two pop-up, student-run salons: a barber’s and a brow and nail bar open to the general public.
As well as excellent nail technology, barbering and brow skills, working in the pop-up salons will help you to develop a range of other transferrable skills, such as teamwork, customer care, communication and money handling. You will also get used to working with an audience, as the pop-up salons are open in the middle of the atrium, and are open to all.
You will have the chance to see how things work behind the scenes: putting together a business plan and marketing campaign so that you can see how running a small beauty business works. Develop your business acumen and professional confidence, as well as providing a top-quality service to your clients!
Working with this learning company is a fantastic opportunity to experience the industry first-hand while developing a broad range of valuable skills that will improve your chances of securing a job in the future.
