Plaits and twists, curls and colours

That's what today was all about.

These guys are creating some great looks and growing in confidence daily!

Teamwork and building confidence.

Today we took a trip into our local town to test out our questionairres.

We are are armed with clipboards and pens.

We were all nervous at first but slowly managed to pluck up the courage to ask the public some of our questions.

It was so cold we decided to warm up and discuss our findings in Costa coffee.

Back at college we had chance to write up what we found and we are now ready to complete our assignment! 

We never thought we would be able to talk to the public like we did. 

Not a bad day at all.

Meet the stylists now. part 2

And now

I feel better now than I did when I started and I have loved it! Lisa has helped me with my work and without her help I wouldnt have managed it.
My advice just keep going on with it! I just wish I had Lisa next year.

And then

At the start of the year I was nervous but now I've got to know everybody and my tutor i jusr don't want the year to end.
I am excited to start next year as I can be open with everyone as we are like a family.
What life lessons have I learnt?
To keep my mouth shut and dont let everyone know your business, then evryone will get on and be happy.
What will the new level ones need?
They wil need positive thoughts, pens, paper, and a big smile!
You also need to make sure you always wear your uniform and bring your kits.

And now

When I started college in September I was really nervous but now I'm not at all. I love my group and hairdressing especially cutting hair.
I will be sad to leave level one but looking forward to doing Level two in September.

Now

I started this course later than most in October. I was really nervous but once I had started I really have enjoyed myself. I'm looking forward to starting level two and meeting more new people.

Then... So shy she wouldn't have her photo took! 

They all look so much more confident! 

Communication is the key to success.

We went out to a local town today to ask people where they have their hair done and why they choose to go there.

All ready to go, clipboards in hand.

We went with more confidence than we did the last time we spoke to the public which shows how far we have come. 

Here we are in action.

We got some great information to help us with our assignment. People were really helpful.

To get in from the cold it was coffee in Costa and a discussion about what we had found.

Of course we cant take Zahir anywhere without having a group selfie!
