NHTA has been delivering work based learning and apprenticeships in hairdressing for 25 years with 16 – 25 year olds. Their training centre, Krown’s Academy, also incorporates a large commercial salon and work closely with many salons in the Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire areas. Learners are closely monitored and encouraged every step of the way of their NVQ/Apprenticeship. The groups are small so they can individually tailor the programme to suit the needs of the individual learner and employer needs.
The Level 3 hair show was a great opportunity for NHTA learners to showcase their creative talents to salon owners, colleagues, friends and family. It allowed them to see the giddy heights they can achieve. One of our previous learners reached these heights by working at London Fashion Week and other top events in the UK.
The pre-show events got under way with Level 3 learners participating in a series of guest stylists demonstrations organised by the Level 3 team. All learners are encouraged to take part in the workshops that follow, gaining valuable advice and guidance from the experts at hand, discussing ideas on emerging cuts, avant-garde hair ups and the latest techniques in fashion colouring.
To enable the advanced apprentices to achieve the highest level of skills they attended Toad Photographic Studio where a guest stylist and make-up artist prepared a total look on a model. Once the look has been created the advanced apprentice then observe the photographic session conducted by Michael the owner of Toad Studios.
The apprentice’s emotions were mixed with excitement and fear but all were inspired and participated in the ‘2008 STYLIST OF THE FUTURE HAIR SHOW’ on 14th April.
Congratulations to all participants, sponsors and contributors who made the day such a success to a full house.
