"We found this course extremely informative and enjoyable. It has given us great direction in the setting up of our face book page.  Unfortunately we had set up our previous page incorrectly (the difference between a profile and a page) and would never have realised this if we had not attended the course.  We are now back on track and gaining fans daily. Lots of Hints & Tips received on the day too".  Michelle Burke at Bankz Hair & Beauty, Portlaois, Co Laois.

 NEWS FLASH

IRISH HAIRDRESSING TRAINING CERTIFICATE

Members of the Irish Hairdressers Federation Executive Committee are working on this very exciting project  the Irish Hairdressing Training Certificate programme.  The aim of this programme is to provide IHF member salons the opportunity to train their apprentices to a standard recognised by the Irish Hairdressers Federation and the International Organisation for hairdressing the OMC.

The IHF want the young people in our industry to achieve their ambition and become not just a good hairdresser but the top hair designer.

This programme is being set by the Irish Hairdressers Federation, an employer led organisation who know what skills are needed to do each job in hairdressing.

Within the programme there will be 12 modules.  Each module will be assessed and credited by the IHF and the OMC.  A certificate of achievement will be issued when all the required units have been successfully completed by a candidate.

 This project will be rolled on a pilot scheme in the winter of 2010.  The committee involved with this project aim to roll out this project in late Autumn 2011.

Training Information

Salon Training

Many hair salons around the country offer excellent raining to young people embarking on a career in Hairdressing. Training usually begins with client care, followed by shampooing conditioning and head massage skills. Hairdressing skills are taught by senior members of staff as part of the working experience, with responsibilities increasing as skills develop. In-salon taining can also include some specialist classes given by technical educators from manufacturing companies such as Alfaparf, Wella, Revlon, Schwarzkiopf and L\'Oreal. These representatives work along side the staff in their salon assessing their needs and demonstrating the necessary techniques required to provide different technical services.

Each trainee is generally treated as an individual, with a tailored training programme of three years depending on the trainees\' interest and ability to progress.

Check out the salon carefully. Some salons offer very little training/real experience to trainees. Look for a salon that portrays a good public image and is a current member of the Irish Hairdresers Federation. Check out what training is given, including external courses. Top salons are usually involved in continuous staff training, competitions and hair and fashion shows. They usually encourage training, rather than discourage it.
