Throughout this exciting and hands-on qualification, learners will explore a wide range of hair and beauty techniques, including hairstyling, skincare, nail services, make-up artistry and client care. The course combines practical salon-based learning with industry knowledge, helping students build confidence, professionalism and creativity in a realistic working environment.
