What the college says

Our Level 3 Diploma in Hairdressing (with Colouring & Styling) is designed for those aged 19+ with no prior experience in hairdressing, teaching you a range of essential and advanced skills to help you start your career as a hair stylist or colourist. Your course is embedded with the required Level 2 modules, which means you don't have to spend additional time and money to gain a Level 2 qualification first. You'll learn to create a variety of looks using advanced cutting techniques, enhance your skills in dressing and styling hair, and increase your knowledge of colouring techniques and products. We'll also teach you more about health and safety practices, selling and promoting your services and products, and how to support colleagues with consultations. Practical learning takes place in LCBT's own Salon where you will have the opportunity to practice your skills with real clients, as well as modelling for other students and sourcing your own models for practical training and assessments. We will provide you with a uniform to wear whilst you are at college. You will need to purchase the hairdressing kit to practice techniques for a small fee. If you apply for a loan, your letter will refer to the course as Level 3 Diploma in Hair Services.
