I totally dissagree. A short course in perming doesn't exist. Perming is an art, and needs to be learnt and taught properly.
What about the science part of it? What about the theory, and then there's the practical side, then the assessments.
How on earth can anyone learn perming in one day?

i cant understand why they dont teach perming its so confusing i finished my level 3 only 3 years ago and its changed so much since i finished my training, i had to do perming on level 2 and level 3 i learnt to do different perm winds on top of the ones i already did in my level 2 , i can understand perhaps it being optional on level 3 but i would think like any part of hairdressing you would have to do it ,

i suppose its like nail techs not learning how to do extensions and skin techs not learning to do facials

and with fashions changing all the time perming is just as important as colouring and cutting

Hello everyone, this is my first post

I finished my NVQ2 last year, and really struggled to find perm models, as no one wanted them done. I did train with one of the bigger salon chains (in Surrey), and we offered them for free to assessments, but still not a lot of people wanted them. But despite this, our Training Manager still didn't want to take it off the syllabus because perming must be an essential part of hairdressing, if only for the theory to understand about the structure of the hair.

I'm inclined to agree, and I think the same about pin-curls and finger waves. We were allowed to do them on each other (I know!!! ), and I learned something useful, especially when thinking about hair ups for parties etc. I doubt you will use them much in your career, but then who does Farandols anymore and we had to do one of those!

I'm not a hair geek but mentioned this to my hairdresser and her junior and they both think that although perms aren't popular with the younger generation atm (they said they tried to make a comeback but GHDs doing spiral curling stopped that one) it would be a real pity to take this element out of the NVQ.
The reason being that although many aspire to work in a top trendy salon not everyone does and they work in smaller shops. The type that get a lot of elderly people for perms and sets. It's the livelihood of a lot of these places.
Where would all these people go if it people stopped training to do them??
Could be the start of many home perm disasters?
Sorry to be nosying in the hair forum but just thought I'd tell you what they said

Thanks Judy,that's completely different to giving out technical advise or asking for diy help

I agree it';s not seen as trendy,but if the jumpsuit from the eighties is coming back,so will the perm what happens to the younger generation of stylists then ?

I finish my level 2 next week and we done perming in it, although it wasnt compulsary my tutor chose for us to do it because there are still alot of oap's getting them done so why bother taking it out of the syllabus? But we still only had to do 3 perms which I dont think is enough, especially since we werent allowed to practice them on our dolls heads becuse the college thought it was a waste of product, so now ill be qualified to do perms when iv only actually done three in my life!

I cant believe it too, shouldn't you have to learn all the aspects of hairdressing? I know I did 20 years ago, I am mobile and if it wasnt for perming...well who knows this IS my bread and butter
