The biggest highlight of my course so far was a competition I participated in with Concept Hair magazine in January 2020. I came third place out of the whole of the south west in an Avant Garde hair up heat.

I really enjoy the resources that we’re supplied with and the experience to work with real clients. I also enjoyed working with other students that have the same interest as me and learning from the lecture’s that work or own a business in the hair industry.

After I finish my Level 3 course, I would like to advance my knowledge on a Level 3 Barbering course with Petroc. I would then like to proceed with my education and do different courses in London. I would also like to own my own business one day and also work in America for a couple years. I would also love to create my own product range as well."

As a Hair Professional apprentice, you will learn how to shampoo and condition hair, cut hair using a range of techniques, style and finish hair to create variety of looks, and colour and lighten hair for ladies and men.

A Level 3 hairdressing apprentice will work as a Salon Junior, assisting senior staff while training. They will attend college one day a week, whilst working in the salon to complete the qualification. At the end of their study they will have achieved a basic qualification in hairdressing and be know as a 1st Year Improver.

We have fantastic hair salons and spas at both our North Devon and Mid Devon campuses, where the public can come along and relax with a massage or beauty treatment, or get new hairstyle.

Treatments are carried out by student therapists and hairdressers, but everything is overlooked under the watchful eye of an industry professional.
