Description

Hair styling is an exciting, creative and glamorous career or a valuable addition to many professions like personal shopper or image consultant. Based in the fast moving, bustling world of image and fashion, it is satisfying and very rewarding.

Our course is written by a top stylist who has many years of experience in all areas of hair styling. You’ll receive in-depth understanding on the importance of caring for the different types of hair and see how to work creatively with styling. As upstyling and extensions have become such a huge part of the hair styling service, we devote one module each to giving you an excellent education on each of these valuable skills.

Here’s just some of what you’ll learn about:

  • Hairstyles throughout history, their place in fashion eras and how many classic looks are adapted for a modern twist
  • The structure of hair and how to care for, protect and nourish it
  • Inside tips and tricks on techniques like washing, straightening, curling and drying
  • How to suit hair color and styles to individual face shapes and skin tones
  • How to create special styles for occasions and create many looks with one cut
  • Upstyles – past trends that are the basis of many modern looks + the latest up-to-date styles
  • Extensions – different types and step-by-step techniques for applying and removing

The course is packed with detailed pictures, videos and step-by-step instructions on vital skills. You’ll receive clear, practical knowledge and tips that will help you feel confident to get styling right away.

Who is this course for?

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
