Hairdressing, NVQ Level 3 Diploma

These are the typical units you will study over the duration of the course:

Cutting Hair: During this unit you will learn how to develop the basic skills you learnt in level 2 to create wonderful haircuts (as mentioned above). For you to be a competent stylist it’s important to have a good knowledge of the basic cuts so you can really progress in this level. We will teach you how to create short hair styles that can either be used on female or male clients.

Colouring the hair: Colouring the hair in a creative way is time for you to show people what you can do. Instead of working with your basic techniques you will be learning how create ombre effects, slices, colour correction and block colours. There is theory that goes along side with this practical unit as you need to understand how the colour works within the hair and how to put a colour correct if it goes round.

Hair up: This unit is a chance for you to play with hair. You will learn how to create advent guard styles as well as classic bridal looks.

Hair extensions: During this unit you will learn a variety of hair extension techniques such as weaves, bonds, glue in’s and how to plait hair in. This is an excellent opportunity to have this skill under your belt.

This course is ideal for developing your skills in hairdressing and English and maths before progressing into a salon. If you feel like you want more training you can look into nails and makeup artistry to gain more qualifications.
