Video- Hairdressing/Barbering at BAC
Student case studies
Leah
Hair and Beauty L1
I chose my course because I wanted to gain experience of both the hair and beauty sectors before specialising in one area. Everyone on my course is friendly and the tutors are really supportive. After my course I plan to progress onto Level 2 Hairdressing to further my goal of working self employed in the sector.
Lewis
Barbering L3
My course has enabled me to turn my passion into a career. My tutors at the college are very friendly and have contacts in the industry to help support my own career progression. I’ve also had the opportunity to study for a qualification in hairdressing to improve my skillset. My next step is employment in the sector as a fully qualified barber.
