Keratin training courses for hairdressers

The keratin smoothing treatment craze has translated to salons across the country, seducing clients with ultra-tamed locks and tussle-free home styling. This is new generation conditioning and, as such, clients have high expectations. Disappointment can lead to unpleasant scenes and negative news stories.


"Before using any chemical hairdressing procedure, it is essential that the salon technician is formally trained, is qualified and experienced," states Glenn Lyons, trichologist and director of the Philip Kingsley Trichological Clinic London. "Chemicals used in these types of preparations are potentially hazardous to both hair and skin and must always be applied and handled with care and understanding."  


To ensure all runs smoothly, every single time, total competence is essential. The leading brands are committed to providing comprehensive training delivered either at a training academy, in-salon, or via an instructional DVD.
