Chinese Hair
The method of cutting Chinese hair is rarely taught in any of the hair colleges in the UK, but this is a massively growing market and to able to merge your European outlook on fashion and image into an oriental haircut can only make you a much more sought after stylist.
The ever increasing population of Chinese oversea students, British born 2nd 3rd and 4th generation residents in the UK make this a huge potential source of income for all concerned.
Yen, our senior director, of Chinese origin but taught in the UK is able to impart that knowledge to you.
You will leave us proficient in the cutting oriental hair.

Colour correction
Maybe yours or someone else’s client requested an ashy blonde, but ended up with a brassy yellow that just looks off, or perhaps the client envisioned a medium-brown hue with a touch of caramel, but left the salon with an inky colour that’s anything but warm chocolate. Maybe they asked for natural-looking highlights and got skunk-inspired streaks, instead.
Although all colourists ultimately want happy, satisfied clients, there’s always the possibility for human error or a breakdown in communication.
The solution might involve giving it another go (hey, everyone deserves a second chance!), but often the client is already on the slippery slope of going elsewhere, game over?
We can show you how to fix the most commonplace mishaps and what to do if you don’t want to lose that valuable client or if, indeed, you are that new colourist and need to know how to fix someone else’s mistake!
