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.
