As with most careers, to become a hairdresser, you need a combination of both education and practical experience. Our hairdressing courses focus on the theoretical aspects of this profession, helping you to develop your flair for styling and providing you with a competitive advantage over others in the field. Our learning programmes are specifically designed to enhance your hairdressing skills and career prospects, and they are suitable for aspiring hairdressers and those already in the industry. Paid apprenticeships or unpaid work experience placements are a good way of obtaining practical on-the-job experience in addition to theoretical training.
In countries such as the UK, anyone is free to practise as a hairdresser without registration or qualifications. You don’t even require training. In short, hairdressing is entirely unregulated. However, if you want to thrive in this field and build a reputation as a talented, capable hairdresser, it is essential to ensure you have the strongest possible skill set. Completing our online courses will help you achieve this.
