Don't miss your chance. You only have 3 weeks! 

And for those of you doing your GCSE maths 

This will soon be you

See you next week when we can..

We know how your feeling. Don't worry

I asked some of the students I had on level one last year to tell this years students how they felt last year at this time and what level two is like.

Here is what they said.

Q. How did you feel about moving on to level two? 

'Last year at this time we felt really nervous and panicky about the group changing and who we were going to have as our tutor. We thought the students in the other group were stuck up ( they aren't) 

Q. What did you feel like when you started in September?

We felt a bit on edge. It soon calmed down when we got put into groups and team building sessions helped us settle in. 

Q. What's level two like?

Doing your first clients is scary but it's okay as long as you remember everything you were taught in level one. It comes back to you. 

It's not as hard as you might expect, you do get to feel more comfortable with the clients and there are no assignments! But make sure you revise for the exams as they are hard.

It goes quickly because your busy doing clients. 

We all get along well, we feel more mature now and are starting to feel like real hairdressers!

Thank you, Lauren, Sheri and Saman.

I'm sure they will feel better now. 

A hairdressing video about Skin Tests

We had so much fun making our own video about

Skin Testing.

First we researched about the importance of skin testing, how we do one and what could happen if you don't do one.

We even made up a little song!

Let us know what you think.

Fun with time lapse

Just for fun we filmed Molly doing a hand massage. Take look! 

Our first videos!

Our First try at Videos!
Emily and Leah showing how to do a conditioning treatment starting with applying the conditioner.
Then how to use the Effleurage massage technique then how to use the Petrissage massage technique.
We will be trying more soon!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Preparing for level two

With the competition over and our practical assessments complete, it's time to recap on our cutting skills again. We surprised ourselves with how much we had remembered. Each of us choosing which cut we wanted to try again.

Congratulations Emily

Emily had to leave early on the night of the hair competition and didn't collect her prizes. 

So today we had a mini celebration. Well done Emily! 

Final assessments

A few more assessments were completed today. We can't believe we only have three and a half weeks left! What a great year it has been. Can't believe it's nearly over... 

An invitation to level two

Since some of us have finished our practical assessments. Lisa asked us if we wanted to see what happened in a level two class. We felt a bit nervous but some of Lisa's level one's from last year were there and she asked them to look after us.

The tutor Jennie was lovely, she was doing a colouring demonstration and although we didn't ask any questions ourselves, we listened to the questions being asked and liked the final result.

We might join them again soon.
