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!

Assessment time

Lots of assessments taking place today

Working on tasks

We worked on our task sheets today and produced some amazing creations.

Didn't we do well!

Confident Chloe!

One of the tutors from a level three class came into the salon today and asked of a student was free to do a shampoo and blowdry. Chloe immediately jumped at the chance and confidently walked into the level three class and began.

She didn't let anything faze her and did a wonderful job.

Well done Chloe! 

Team building, badminton style

We had a great time playing badminton today. 

First time foils.

Today we had our first session about foiling.

First of all we had to section the hair correctly.

Then after a demonstration by Lisa, we tried ourselves.

We really enjoyed it and Lisa said we did a great job for our first time.

What do you think?

Great sectioning!

To get better on our sectioning we are finding to be really important, especially when we are cutting.

So today we concentrated on sectioning.

We did amazingly well, so Lisa let us do some cutting! Yeah! 

How many plaits?

Today we found out the difference between all the different plaits.

We had to find lots of pictures and put them into the right groups.on scalp plaits, off scalp plaits and twists.

We were kept busy! 

We're cutting!

Our first cutting session today. How exciting!

There is so much to remember, sectioning, angles, guidelines, palming, combing, sitting, standing, crossing legs. Phew!

Team building!

Another fab team building session today with Alexis.

It was all about communication skills this time. It was hard to start with but eventually we got he hang of it.

We think this picture sums the words team building, perfectly!

Working hard in E-learning

It's almost too quiet?.......

Using Neal & Wolf Silk

A client came in his morning complaining she could never manage to get her hair smooth.

We recommended the Neal & Wolf Silk 

Just applying a small amount and distributing it through the hair before blow drying.

The results speak for themselves!

The client was very pleased.

Are these level twos?

Was what Lisa got asked today when we were working on clients! 

We were told we were very good and acted in a professional way.

What a boost for us after only 10 weeks! 

Here we are in action.

If we didn't have clients, we practised our setting techniques ready for our next session.

BaByliss pro perfect curls. So easy to use.

We made this video while we were making curls today.

These Babyliss pro perfect curls are easy to use and produce great curls! 

We loved using them.

Another fab day.

Pin up creations today!

Using different heated appliances first to make the hair easier to pin up.

Look what we did.

Lydia and Sophie we're proud of their pin ups.

Paige even kept going, we think she enjoyed doing this!

It's trick or treat time!

Today was FUN! 

We started our total looks unit and decided since it was near Halloween, that's what we would do.

Lisa had a box full of fabric and bits and pieces and we soon dug in.

We worked in small groups with one model and two stylists.

Hassan, James and Holly made a scary mummy!

Sophie, Jade and Amy made a blood thirsty vampire.

Paige, Chloe and Ella made an awesome red witch.

Georgina, Roxy and Lydia made an evil devil girl! 

Here we are together.

Trick or treat anyone? 

Wow! How that bacteria grows!

Remember the personal hygiene sesson we did? Well here are the results.

Some weird bacteria has formed. We know wash our hands more now!
