Jamie Lee Banks studied NVQ 2 Hairdressing from September 2008 to December 2009,

“My favourite memories are meeting new people that I became and stayed very good friends with. I have now been promoted to a stylist at a salon in Worcester. I would advise new students to study as an apprentice as you get more experience while earning a salary”

Christina Wickenden studied Modern Apprenticeship in Hairdressing from 2007 to 2010,

“My favourite memories are everything from working and meeting the tutors, clients and new friends. I enjoyed learning new skills and techniques.

I have since moved salons, increased my clientele with my own designs and hairdressing techniques.”
