“We always have at least one apprentice on our team. This allows our stylists to see more clients in any one day. Our clients benefit from the extra service and when the apprentices graduate they are already experts in the way we do things. ”

“The training and support we’ve put into our apprentices has been paid back ten fold with loyalty, an excellent work ethic and only after a short period a fully qualified barber working to our shop’s high standards. We still have three, now senior barbers, on our team who have contributed hugely to our business success. It’s a real win win relationship.”

“I am able to train the apprentice at my standard of expectation and performance, without having the challenge of retraining in areas of clinic operation, protocols, or treatment procedures.”

“I wanted to train and get qualified and a HITO apprenticeship gave me the flexibility to learn, work and earn at the same time.”

Working in a real clinic made study a lot less daunting. You’ve got qualified beauty therapists around you in the clinic every day; there is always someone you can call out to for help, so you don’t feel like you’re doing it on your own.”

“You get paid to learn with an apprenticeship, and you gain real salon experience too. One of my favourite things about the industry is having such a wide variety of people in my clientele.”
