I am a mobile hairdresser, I qualified in 2004, I have worked in a salon but decided to go mobile a year ago after being made redundant (as salon owner decided to give up & shut the salon)
After completing my nvq 2 I felt I needed a break from learning but had always planned to go back to college and do my nvq 3. Time has flown by and now here I am not sure if I should now do it.
My predicament is, that I thought now maybe a good time as I am still building my mobile client base I could go to college without it causing too many complications. But now on the other hand my client base is increasing really quickly, by taking a day out of my diary for college I could run the risk of struggling to fit them all in.
One of my hairdresser pals has done the nvq3 and always says how good it is.
I am hopeful I can get some impartial advice. Should I get that extra qualification under my belt or just focus on my business and continue to build my client base?
