How do I start a new career in hairdressing?

You will earn while you learn, and gain invaluable knowledge of how a busy salon works. You don’t need any prior work experience to become a salon assistant (it’s much more about your personality), but you will need passion for the industry and a desire to succeed. Training can be hard work and will require a lot of dedication from you – it’s truly a case where you get out what you put in.
