“During my apprenticeship, I worked alongside talented barbers in a real barbershop environment. I developed a great work ethic and learned first hand all of the skills required to be a great barber.”
“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.”
“An apprenticeship is a great way to get into the industry – you get to learn how businesses run, get paid to learn and gain real industry experience.”
“An apprenticeship allows you to learn practical skills in a real, hands-on environment. I love being a part of an inclusive industry, filled with talented stylists who support me during every step of my journey.”
“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.”
