Trafford College
Altrincham Campus
The global hair and beauty industry could be seen to cater for only the glamourous, the vain or those in the spotlight, however global trends show an increase in the consumer market putting hair, beauty and wellness high on most people’s agenda.
The course provides an introduction into the sector with a balance between developing practical skills and theoretical knowledge. Our Level 1 Professional programme has two pathways, Hair and Make-up or Beauty and Nails.
With expert guidance you will develop your basic practical hair and beauty skills to a professional standard.
During practical lessons you will take part in a range of demonstrations, workshops, discussion and research activities to communicate your ideas through practical work and a portfolio of evidence. Theory classes will involve developing your knowledge through discussion and answering questions in preparation for written examinations.
