“The teachers at College of FET Kilkenny were very warm and welcoming and I was pleasantly surprised by the salon as it is laid out similar to a real salon. Models from the public come to have their hair done by the students giving a real hands-on feel. When you have created a style or colour change or cut you feel so excited! If you want a career in Hairdressing I would definitely recommend this course.”
