“My advice to potential students is; don't follow other people, be yourself, find a course you enjoy and work hard at it!”

I’ve been doing some work at my sister’s salon in Syston, so coupled this with the tuition I am receiving at college I’m really looking forward to a successful career in the industry, working with and meeting new people is really refreshing and exciting.

Every year we have hundreds of people apply to come to us and study hair, why? Our tutors are simply the best around! They currently work in the profession themselves you’ll get all the secrets on how to really cut it in this competitive industry. As you develop your skills within the Reflections hair salon on campus you’ll gain expert guidance and support every step of the way, from cutting to colouring, perming and styling.
