Hi I’m just looking for a bit of advice on my current situation. I am level 2 and 3 qualified, although I didn’t go into college for my level 3, I had an assessor come out once a month and look at photos of work I had completed to pass assignments off & see the occasional model that I did. So I don’t feel like I benefited much from the course.
I started a new job last year in the summer, just before qualifying level 3. I explained to my employer that I wasn’t that confident in cutting hair, especially short hair and I didn’t do much gent cutting. the past few months my employers been saying that my short hair cutting isn’t good & that the salon has been quieter than normal and it’s due to bad haircuts (done by me). It’s been talked about to clients as well while I’m there which I find embarrassing. I’ve been there several months and have been told I should be busy and have a clientele now but I’m just slowly building up.
My confidence is at an all time low and my anxiety is really bad before going to work or when doing hair in the salon. I just feel like I’m not good enough or should just give hairdressing up, even though it’s always what I’ve wanted to do.
I was thinking of leaving my job and taking some time out to do some courses? To improve my skills and just build my confidence up. I just wanted some advice whether that’s a good idea or if perhaps I’m overreacting and need to persevere working there?
If so what courses would you recommend?
Sorry this is so long winded!
