Cut, Style, Bob! - Hairdressing as a career!

Hello there

Have you ever wondered how someone becomes a hairstylist to the stars?

If they are a trained hairdresser from Australia they will most probably have completed a Certificate III in Hairdressing as part of an apprenticeship.

Further training may have been completed in small business management or business at a TAFE or university while other complimentary studies in beauty therapy may also have been undertaken.

Hairdressing is classified as a skills shortage area, as the result of an increased interest in the beauty and personal services industries from Y gen clients and as many baby boomers retire from the industry.

Options for training are also changing with some students being able to fast track their learning through colleges offering full time 'salon-ready' hairdressers who have completed an intensive year’s study.

Students who are interested in hairdressing but do not wish to take on an apprenticeship may find this model more to their liking.

If you have a budding hairstylist in Yrs 10, 11 or 12 interested in competing for a scholarship to attend Pivot Point International’s Sydney campus and begin their pathway to becoming a hairstylist to the stars -

Please contact jsoady@pivot-point.edu.au

Until next time
