Hey I'm returning to college to do my level 3 in hair. I've been out of practise for years so the question is I've got to get kit I don't want to spend a fortune but anything anyone recommends would be great!!
When i equired about doing level 3 they told me i needed to be working in a salon before they would let me on the course

That what I thought you had to do as the college wouldn't touch me

Don't spend much on your training kit as it's liable to be 'borrowed'. :-(
Just buy cheaper brands especially scissors. I treated my self to a better quality pair after level 2 and they kept getting 'borrowed' by the other students on my level 3 and even my tutor! They weren't exactly Kasho's but just a bit better quality and much sharper than the old stuff the other students were using. Initially, they'd get borrowed whilst I was mixing up tint and not at my station. I started keeping them in a tool belt but then the cheeky buggers would come up and ask to borrow them saying, 'they're much sharper than mine', hmmm! Sorry, went on a little rant there...
Your training provider should provide a kit list so perhaps give them a call? Hope you enjoy your course!
I bet when you get a list of what you need you'd be able to find it all around your house my sis in law did when I told her what she needed, id get a separate pair of straightners for college tho they always get "borrowed" someone broke mine u jus need combs, a selection of brushes small round up to big round and flat brushes, I had head jog & denmans, a pair of scissors, & maybe a training head? Like was said above you don't need to spend much to get a kit together, after you've passed go out and splash out on all the best gear then to treat yourself, it'll just get "borrowed" in training xx
I have tones of stuff, no round brushes no hairdryer either lol. (Only a shoddy one)
I've got one paddle brush.
I do have a list any suggestions on scissors ??
The academy will probably have a group deal for students to order through them, i think ours was £90 inc 2 heads, brush set, combs, clips, scissors all the basics really.
Id wait until they give you the paperwork, gather your own bits together and see if you just need to grab a brush roll. Tbh a lot goes walkies so dont spend a lot for college kit.
I very much doubt you'll need electrical stuff due to h+s (if your appliance fuses the college youd be liable!) But have a look at diva electricals for reasonable prices and funky colours too x
