    "Students can unleash their creative side and/or concentrate on colour and cutting. I advise my students to seek work experience while studying level 3 as this gives an insight to how busy a salon can be. We have a bit of fun too, we enter at least one hairdressing competition in the year and have always been placed in the top 3 in at least 1 category.

    I love following the progress of my students and have kept in touch with lots of them for years and (showing my age now) now their daughters are starting hairdressing!"
