Entry requirements

To enrol on a Level 2 course, you will need at least a level 1 qualification in maths and English, although this may depend on the employer. To enrol on a level 3 qualification/apprenticeship, you will need to have completed a level 2 Hair Professional qualification or have equivalent industry experience

What you will learn

  • You'll develop advanced cutting techniques for a range of hair types and styles.
  • You'll master complex colouring and colour correction services.
  • You'll learn creative styling and finishing for editorial and commercial looks.
  • You'll understand hair science, including the structure and chemistry of hair treatments.
  • You'll build client consultation skills to assess needs and manage expectations.
  • You'll practise salon management and professional standards in a working environment.

How you will learn

Learning is blended: you'll study theory online and attend GetaHead Sheffield for practical sessions. Workplace learners attend the centre once a month for theory, with practical training delivered in the salon. Day-release learners attend the centre once a week for both practical and theory, with additional training in a paid salon environment. Assessment includes practical observations, written work, and professional discussions.
