“The Level 5 Hairdressing course has really given me an insight into the hairdressing life and everything that is required and expected. I learned new skills every day. The course allows you to be as creative as you desire and gives you all the knowledge you need going forward to eventually work in a salon. I enjoyed every day of this course and I can’t wait to start level 6!”
