HURRAY

Our kits have arrived!

We were so excited looking through all our things. We can't wait to try them out, especially the scissors! 

A usual Entry 3 day

Conditioning treatments and selfies in the morning. 

1930's make up practise in the afternoon. 

Making waves

Today we had our first experience of roller setting.

At first we weren't sure we would ever use this technique but we soon changed our minds.

You can make all kinds of styles and it's the same technique as perming. That soon got James working.

But he wasn't sure what to do with his net?

And Ella must have been gripping her rollers to make her hands bleed!

But we managed to do all these different looks

What do you think?

Growing bacteria!

Today we found out all about bacteria. To help us with our first assignment. 

We even got to grow our own. 

The results will be next week! 

Test time

Our first hairdressing test today!

Fingers crossed!

Team building the fencing way!

We had our first team building session today with Alexis and we did some fencing!

We tried some techniques first.

Then we got our vests on.

Then we got into battle!

All good fun.

Team building works!

Consultation techniques.

We were learning today about consultations and how to get the best out of them.

We did a fun describing activity. We had to sit back to back and try to describe a group of shapes and get the other person to draw it.

Some of us struggled at first....

Imagine if you were describing how you want your hair cut! 

But we got there in the end!

Family and friends day.

Today we invited family and friends to come for a conditioning treatment.

We had mum's, grandmas, aunties, and friends.

We think they enjoyed their treatments.

Some very professional massages were done and some very well blow dried hair to finish.

All the clients look happy with the results.

The 1920's makeovers!

These girls worked so hard today. Just look what they have done! 

1920's makeover. Hair, makeup and costume.

First setting the curls.

Then the makeup and hair up.

And the finished results....

Let's not forget the stylists.

To say I am proud of these girls is an understatement. If this is what they can produce on Entry 3 goodness only knows what they will be doing by the time they get to level 3! 

Well done all of you.

How to do a conditioning treatment.

Today we did conditioning treatments. Here is how to do it.

Section the hair into four ( a hot cross bun section) using Maths! 

Get your tinting bowl and brush and of course conditioner.

Estimate how much you will need. There's the maths again! 

Apply he conditioner. Make sure you wear gloves and an apron for personal protection.

Until it is all covered.

Next the massages.

 Oops we forgot to take a photo of this so we got this one of Lisa instead.

Next it's the hot towels. Ouch these were HOT

Squeeze that water out James!

Nice and relaxing

Then a good rinse is needed to get rid of all the conditioner.

And finally the blow dry to finish the treatment off.

Feels lovely and soft now.
