What the college says

This Level 3 Diploma in Hair Services follows on from a Level 2 qualification in hairdressing, adding a range of essential and advanced skills to your portfolio. You will complete the course with the confidence to create a variety of popular and more technically challenging styles for your clients. We will teach you advanced cutting and colouring techniques, and you will also increase your skills in dressing and hair. You will gain a deeper understanding of health and safety practice in the salon, and develop your knowledge of how to sell and promote your services and products, as well as 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.
