Every year NHTA host several competitions, for new groups only, this year we organised Hair-o-ween 2013, which I am sure you have guessed, is a Halloween themed competition. Well done to all learners who took part in Hair-O-Ween at the end of October. All learners are from brand new groups so this shows fantastic skill and creativity for those who have just started their NVQ Level 2 Apprenticeship. We hope you had fun... and here are just a few photos of some of the looks, all photos can be found on our facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Nottingham-Hairdressing-Training-Agency-NHTA/170509766404798 

Krowns - Well Done to Learners

 
 
Well done to all learners recently at Krowns - we have been receiving some very positive feedback about your professionalism and skills (this is just one example);

"I had an appointment on the 4th November for a cut and foils colour. Can I please pass on excellent feedback for the learner. She is very professional, it was a good cut, great choice of colour (her choice) and a style I would never... have chosen for myself - I hope to have her style my hair again! I have rarely had so many positive comments from people about my hair!"

Well done to everyone for all their hard work!

If you would like your hair done at Krowns at a discounted rate or if you are interested in doing an Apprenticeship in Hairdressing and Barbering please contact NHTA on 0115 969 1650 or enquiries@nhta.org.uk and we would be happy to help.

Salon International and Alternative Hair Show Trip

8 Learners and 3 NHTA staff went on the Salon International and Alternative Hair Show trip to London on 16th and 17th October.
On the first evening we arrived at our London hotel and were whisked off to the Royal Albert Hall to watch the Alternative Hair Show. The Alternative Hair Show is where teams compete in Avant Garde hair to win the title of winners. Teams arrive in London from all over the world so the standard was exceptional. We all spent the evening completely amazed and inspired by the standard of work - so much so one of the learners who attended decided to change the look she was planning for the NVQ level 2 hair show coming in the next couple of weeks based on what she saw.
After a good nights sleep, dreaming of the avante garde hair we had seen the previous evening we were transported to Salon International - a hairdressing exhibition. We spent the day at the exhibition looking at all the new trends and products such as feather extensions and also a new diffuser based applicator for a hairdryer that barrel curls hair!

A fantastic trip had by all - I for one will definately be going next year!
