Why Choose a Career in Hairdressing?

Dreaming of a career that’s creative and flexible? At LCBT, we help aspiring hairdressers turn their passion into a profession.

Hairdressing is more than just cutting and styling – it’s about helping clients look and feel their best. Whether you want to work in a salon, on fashion shoots or even run your own business, hairdressing offers exciting possibilities and endless opportunities to grow.

At LCBT, we provide expert training and hands-on experience to help you achieve your goals.

Starting Your Hairdressing Career at 16-18

If you’re aged 16-18, our Level 2 Diploma in Women’s and Men’s Hairdressing is the perfect first step. This one year course equips you with the essential skills, like cutting, styling and colouring for both men and women’s hair. You’ll also learn how to shampoo, condition, and create looks for different occasions.

You’ll gain hands-on experience in our on-site salon, working with real clients to develop your confidence and technical ability. Alongside practical and technical skills, you’ll learn how to provide excellent customer service, promote products and services, and follow health and safety standards in a salon environment.

Once you’ve completed your Level 2 Diploma, you’ll be ready to start working as a Junior Stylist or progress to the Level 3 Diploma in Hair Services.

Progress on to our Level 3 Diploma in Hair Services

To enrol on our Level 3 Diploma in Hair Services, you’ll need to have completed a Level 2 qualification. This advanced course focuses on enhancing the skills you’ve already learned, introducing techniques like precision cutting, creative colouring, and specialist styling for events or occasions.

You’ll also develop professional consultation techniques, improve your understanding of salon health and safety, and gain experience in salon management. Like the Level 2 course, you’ll practice your skills on real clients in our fully equipped salon, preparing your for senior roles such as a Senior Stylist or Colour Technician.

This programme ensures you graduate with the expertise and confidence you need to excel in the hairdressing industry.

Starting your Hairdressing Career at 19+

If you’re 19 or older, our 19+ Level 3 Diploma in Hairdressing (with Colouring and Styling) is the perfect way to fast-track your career. This programme combines the training provided in Level 2 and Level 3 into one comprehensive course, so you don’t need any previous experience to enrol.

Throughout the course, you’ll learn foundational skills like cutting and styling, as well as advanced techniques such as creative colouring and precision cutting. You’ll also gain knowledge of salon health and safety, client consultations and professional salon practices.

For those who already hold a Level 2 Hairdressing Diploma, you won’t need to repeat the introductory Level 2 modules of the programme, so you’ll join approximately eight weeks into the course. This option allows you to focus on mastering advanced skills while completing your training more efficiently.

By the end of the course, you’ll be fully qualified to work as a Senior Stylist, Colour Technician, or even explore freelance opportunities.
