Thanks @AcidPerm im going to look into dates

Ok so this maybe a long one Im 34 this year I've been NVQ 2 hairdressing in 2016 I bummed around for a while then got a job as an assistant at a top salon in London (amazing opportunity right?) It was fine at 1st but then things changed within the company since the owner sold it. The standards...

Thanks for the advice I was thinking college as I also got my level 2 on fast track hmmmm its a bit to think about

Hi all, I would like to start by saying thank god for salongeek and all you geeks, it seems like every year since starting my hairdressing career I have come to these forums for advice and at each step you have helped. So 3 years after qualifying and I'm working at one of the top salons in...

Thanks @heather1992

Hi all, I went on a fast track NVQ 2 Hairdressing course last year and finished in August 2016. But my journey so far hasn't been easy or enjoyable so far I started out at a really nice salon with a talented owner she was offering a saks apprenticeship but after 3 or 4 months of avoiding me...

Hey guys thanks for the support and comments and 6 months later and I have completed HAIRDRESSING NVQ LEVEL 2 at Waltham College now admittedly I have practice to do but I did it But now what???? I feel abit lost tbh lol I have a friend who's partner bout a salon but neither of them have any...

Thanks I think the idea of braking things down is really good I'm going to invest in some more blocks and get to it.

Hi this is kindone of a continuation or my last trend I've looked and looked and salon just isn't coming my way but I don't want to sit on my hands I don't feel people ready yet so what do I do?? After nearly 2000 on a course and I'm feeling worried my game is off since I've started taking...

No worries I have been offered space to take clients but sadly no work experience I've been told to work on my skills for a few months and start applying for jobs as mastering cuts will give me an edge, I understand how important salon experience is but if no one is willing to give it I can't...

My gosh this is why I'm so worried it's all well and good getting a placement but the people your meant to be learning from are not professional trust me I understand I don't even know what to say to that I'm sorry that happened to you don't give up tho just keep practicing and your own...

You should I've realised practice and hands on training is the key

Im on a fast track so it's been pretty intensive I've learned more then I could tell you and I can't say I've not enjoyed it but it's been hard to master cuts as I was a self taught novice but if your doing a normal nvq then you should be fine colour can be tricky a cutting comes with practice...

Thanks for all the response guys

I'm not financially in a position to keep being messed about I'm 31 with rent and a child so it's not as simple I wasted my time most of last year because my first salons boss said the send thing I know ideally the salon would be best but I don't want to stop or sit on my hands if I don't find...

This part vent part questions I've been on a NVQ 2 hairdressing course since March and will be finished mid to late August. I have learned a lot but it's taken a toll on my confidence I love hair but I don't think I'm good enough my tutors are happy with my work apart from my speed but I'm not...

Thanks guys The advice is appropriated I'm looking at either taking an intensive or college in Jan I was looking at Waltham as they had a level 2 hairdressING cause but it's NOT NVQ so I'm thinking I'm going to end up dping it with a training provider I really don't want to twiddle My thumbs...

I have been looking at this same course it starts in march I applied and they said the would contact me nearer to the time but how did you find the course?

Yes I started August this year and she let me go out of the blue in October she said Im not that interested in hair and she thinks I should find something else when I asked what I did she didn't even answer me! I called saks and they wanted me to find another place with them but I'm not sure I...

This is what I'm thinking to do I've been offered the space to practice and learn at a friends salon till next year and there's a course in march I sell human hair so I still have that until September if needs be what do you guys think about hair extensions courses I was thinking to try in the...
