Im looking for a bit of advise from you lovely Hair Geeks out there
My daughter is 15 and can leave school at christmas but she hates school so much and wants to leave asap, she has always been interested in the hair/beauty industry and wants to get into it.
There is a new hairdressers opening in our village they own 2 other salons one in Aberdeen and one in Glasgow.
My best mate who goes to one of them had recommended my daughter to them so I popped past them yesterday to have a chat.
They were lovely both guys are passionate about the industry and very up to date with everything.
While discussing my daughter he said he doesnt put his trainees to collage they do all their training in salon over 3 years then before they are ready to go onto the shop floor they take them and put them on a weeks intensive cutting course.
They feel that the local collage is very old fashioned and not up to date with new fashions and trends.
I have to say that the same collage's beauty and especially nail training is terrible so I dont blame them.
He told me that he trains them up until they want to rent a chair, he feels that people will stay in the salon if they are given the chance to make more money.
All of the girls he has have all trained with them then moved on to be self employed.
My daughter is very keen to do this after her exams which works out great for them as they are doing a refit in the shop at the moment.
My query to you guys is do you think of this and do you think it will work?
