"I started in 2021 as a Junior Stylist and I have now completed my second year as a Senior Stylist. I came across the hair stylist course and thought I’ll give it a go, doing these courses really was like a light bulb moment and unlocked my love for everything to do with hair. Not only did this course give me the tools, knowledge and experience to get started but it gave me new friends, and most important of all CONFIDENCE, to do things and trust in myself. The modules I did in this course have taught me things I use every day and have given me good habits and practices to bring into a salon, even when things got difficult my tutors and other classmates were always there to help. Fast forward to now I have my own little hair page, clients and I’m doing the barbering course in BIFE." - Amy Gray
