I qualified yonks ago in 1992. Decided to become a trolley Dolly and never really used my hairdressing (even though I was a finalist at BHA) I always cut my families hair, thats it.
We were living in the Middle East and my husband lost his job unexpectedly, so with two kids in school I sent out loads of flyers did lots of Blogs and ended up running my own mobile business, even though I always thought I didn't REALLY know what I was doing, somehow I pulled it off and realised hairdressing was my future. We recently arrived back into the UK and I went for a day interview at my local HEADMASTERS salon. Petrified I got through 2 blow dries, 1 cut & blow and half head foils. At the end of the day the the manager said they would employ me at stylist level, so I MUST be doing something right.
I didn't accept the job as my husband has just heard that we are going back to the Middle East, this time I want to go back with the BEST possible training under my belt. I have been looking at the Vidal Sassoon CLASSIC cutting course, does anyone have any reviews on this, are there any other courses that you feel may benefit me more? I don't want to spend 900 quid on a course where I will be taught what I already know. However I feel the Vidal Sassoon brand could take my career further.
How about colour courses? I know the basics but I need to be assessed to know what I need training on. We leave for the Middle East in October and Sassoon do not have a CLASSIC colour course before then.
I really would be truly grateful for any help or advice. x
Hi DohaCat!
Keep up the good work I say!!! I'm not a hairdresser, but the one thing that I have learned from my time working at HJi is that the more training course etc you do the better!
Here is the link to some of the courses that academies and manufacturers have recommended to us as their top courses in September. Hope it is of some use.
