What Qualifications Are Required To Go On Hair Dressing Courses?
If you are considering becoming a hairdresser, you will need to complete a training course before you look for jobs. If you lack hairdressing experience, this is not a barrier to your success. There are hair dressing courses to suit all levels of experience, from NVQ Level 2 in Hairdressing courses for beginners to continuing professional development courses for experienced hairdressers.
NVQ Level 2
If you have no hairdressing experience and no qualifications, you can enrol on a beginner’s hairdressing course, which is otherwise known as an NVQ Level 2 in Hairdressing. This course will introduce you to basic hairdressing skills through a combination of both practical and theoretical work. You will learn about every aspect of hairdressing, from shampooing and conditioning hair to basic cutting and colouring, customer service skills and health and safety laws. Class sizes are usually small to help you to receive the personal tuition that you require. Anyone of any age can take an NVQ 2 in Hairdressing. While your age and experience may be irrelevant, you will need an abundance of enthusiasm and an interested in hairdressing to successfully complete the course. Once you have completed your NVQ 2, you can go on to find a job in a hair salon, open your own hair salon or work as a self-employed hairstylist. If, however, you would like to advance your skills, you can enrol on an NVQ Level 3 or a professional development course.
NVQ Level 3Once you have gained your NVQ Level 2, you can enrol on an NVQ Level 3 in Hairdressing course. This course will be a step up from your NVQ Level 2 work and will teach you more advanced techniques, enabling you to take your hairdressing to a higher level. You will learn advanced colouring and cutting, advanced basic and creative hair-up techniques, advanced colour correction, advanced men’s hair and more. As with your Level 2 work, your class sizes will usually be small to ensure that you receive the correct amount of individual training. Once you have completed your NVQ 3, you can find a job in a hair salon, open your own hair salon or work as a self-employed hairstylist.
Professional Development
Once you have qualified with an NVQ 2 or 3, you will be able to enrol on professional development courses that will help you to improve your confidence and update your skills. Professional development hair dressing courses tend to cover the latest fashion cutting and colouring techniques. You can take these courses whether you have been working in the hairdressing industry for a few months or for several decades.
