Hi Geeks....
Just need to 'offload' and ask advise really.
So ive been away from hairdressing for a good few years, never had any decent salon experience really.
Lately ive thought its time to get back into it, so I have been volunteering at a salon on Saturdays (im 25 - not ideal but have to do what you have to do!) and looking into level 3. Passed a trade test for level 3 but she said as the course started in sept ive missed so much so to come back next year. ( I thought why let me do a trade test then?!) she swore blind trade test was great and looks forward to seeing me next year.
anyway, I have gone into a salon and spoken to the guy who runs it and ive explained the situation. he has said to contact London hairdressing academy - he has a good relationship with them. They have a course which is one day a week and the guy will give me 1 day at the salon a week paid on a years contract and one day off my own back if I can. If I need longer than a year to complete level 3 he will redo the contract. This suits me for childcare - I hope to get in the salon on a Saturday so other half can have kids and then one day during week mother in law can have them for me to go to the academy ( I also work 2 days in a office I must continue doing for the money)
I am to go into the academy tomorrow to discuss fees, they are also visiting him to talk this afternoon.?
My old tutor from level 2 has also offered me a place on level 3 but that is 2 days a week.
My concern is will one day a week at college be enough? The guy has said he will train me whilst working the one day in the salon too.
Appreciate all your opinions.
MUST ADD - THIS IS HAIRDRESSING BY THE WAY
