Other Information
The reality of working as an apprentice isn’t all glamorous; there are jobs that we all must do regardless of level. You will have dedicated time to master the art of hairdressing, but you will also be supporting and assisting other members of staff. You will be the face of the salon, so you must take pride in your appearance. We encourage individuality, but you must be of a smart appearance. Working Saturdays and late nights is a requirement when working in the hairdressing industry. Being constantly alert is key, as you will be in a fast-paced environment.
