1 Day Hair Course For Our Mummies

We ran a 1 day hair course for our mummies. The purpose of this course was to give them a taster session of what skills they can develop and learn to help them enter into employment in the beauty industry.

Feedback from Our Learners

"I really enjoyed this course as I have a lot of family weddings and have to spend a fortune on myself and my daugther to get our hair and makeup. I will now be able to save money and do the hairstyles myself."

"OMG, why didn't you run this course earlier? I have always wanted to learn how to do elegant hairstyles and thought they were really complicated to do. Please let me know when you have more hair and make up courses."
Nazi

"During lockdown, I tried practising hair styles by watching YouTube but couldn't focus. This face to face hair course helped me understand detailed information and learn how to do backcombing. Thankyou for letting me join the class at a short notice."
