I have learnt a lot more on this placement than my Level 2 placement, it has been great to have models and expand my hairdressing skills. I have been able to take the technical back into college to support my learning.

We were really pleased that Cheryl from the Work Placement Team came to visit. We hope to continue this relationship and support further students. it is vital for them to gain a real-world salon environment and supports our future recruitment needs.
Evie has been a delight to support, she always has a smile and has good communication skills. We have been booking models for her and has been great to see her progression.
