not strictly s&b but any hairdressers out there?

i really just want to pick your brains about training, im currently a sahm dd is full time school and ds does not go to full time school untill sept2013 but currently gets his 16 hrs funded. Im thinking of training to be a hairdresser i started in my teens but only did 6 months (due to problems at home). Iv looked into it and currenlty i cant really do a full time apprentership but my local uni does a level 2 nvq which is 13hrs a week combo of morning afternoons and evenings the have three in house salons. Now i figure i could do the year course which covers evrything to be a qualified hairdresser and still spend time with ds befor he goes full time then when he does i could go on to do level three which is 16hrs and get a jrn postion in a salon for some more on the job training/experience. But i have always been told that an apprentership is the best way. If i could have your opinions and experiences i would really appreciate it

anyone? didnt know exactly where to post this any recemendations? thanks

anyone?

It's along time since I worked in a salon, but most girls who had trained in college were useless tbh and had very poor customer service skills. Employers were very reluctant to take them on. An apprenticeship is the way to go IMO.
