The Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Hairdressing provides learners with the essential technical and practical skills required to begin a professional career in hairdressing. Designed for aspiring stylists, it introduces core competencies needed to work confidently in a salon environment.
Throughout the course, students learn how to style and finish hair, set and dress hair, perform basic cutting techniques, and apply colour and lightening services safely. Additional focus is given to client consultation, shampooing and conditioning, scalp treatments, and maintaining workplace effectiveness. Optional units, such as perming and neutralising hair, further enhance practical ability.
This qualification prepares learners for immediate employment opportunities within salons, while also serving as a solid foundation for progression to Level 3 Hairdressing or further specialist training.
The programme combines practical salon-based training with essential theoretical knowledge. Learners participate in hands-on workshops covering styling, finishing, colouring, and cutting techniques. Practical skill development is supported by client consultations, product knowledge, and hair and scalp care procedures. Optional units offer experience in perming and neutralising services to widen technical ability. The structure includes demonstrations, guided practice, supervised client work, theory classes, and portfolio building to ensure learners develop both confidence and competence.
There are no formal entry requirements, making this course accessible to beginners who are passionate about developing hairdressing skills. A willingness to learn, good communication abilities, and reliability in attending practical sessions are essential for success. Previous experience in hair or beauty can be helpful but is not required.
Fees are structured based on the level and mode of study. Flexible payment plans may be available to help learners spread the cost over instalments. For detailed fee information and guidance on payment options, contact the admissions team at admissions@aronexcollege.co.uk.
