I partake of the developing skills of students training to be beauty therapists or hairdressers.
There are however a few things to bare in mind if you also choose to use college students.
At the beginning of the academic year ask for a level 3 student. A bit more expensive normally but still dirt cheap. They are quicker and a level 2 hair dressing qual is experienced enough and can be relied on for most simple cuts and colour. You can still go for level 2 students however they will take much much longer, Don't think you will be finished in a hour for a cut and blow dry.
Generally a college hair cut will take longer as the students will be methodical and go through all the steps. They will also have client record books to keep and will need to get their tutor to check progress at certain points.
By March - you level student is more than capable and will be a lot quicker at cutting your hair. At level 2 they are cheaper as well.
I pay £5 for level 3 and £3 for level 2 - If the level 2 does a grand job towards the end of the year I normally just give them a fiver anyway. Much cheaper than £20 odd quid.
They will stick to lengths. If you say 1.5 inches that's what you will get. They want to pass and not make a cock up.
Tutors check with you directly as to what you want exactly and also check instructions/requests written in the students client book.
Its pretty much the same for L3/L2 beauty therapy students. Some treatments will only be carried out by a L3 and others by L2. They are more capable towards the end of the academic year.
Remember colleges do not operate over school holidays and typically will start summer at the end of June not the end of July. Also not open Saturdays.
For all cut and blow drys or trims I am off to college. I dye my own hair from the comfort of my own home for £1 so am fine on that point.
Eye brow shaping, leg wax, massage, etc all good and for a minuscule price at a beauty therapy spa at a college.
Typically - Students start at level 1= 1yr, then go onto level 2 = 1 yr and then level 3 = 1yr
Sometimes they may combine beauty and hair at level 3 which takes 2 yrS.
