Haircut at training college

4 replies

Getting hair cut at a training college in an attempt to cut costs!

Any tips to make life easier for the apprentice and so I end up with as good a cut as possible?

Go as late into the academic year as you can - students have had more time to practice

go with a pic but not something super intimidating. Most cuts are based on a couple of key styles but anything too outrageous and yoj might end up with a very nervous student

please be nice - you’d be surprised how many of the people who go and get their haircut by students are really rude and bullying. I think some people behave worse towards the hairdresser in tbe college (with a £5 okay passable haircut) than they do in after a hundred pound haircut that they don’t like

Thanks @lilkiki all very helpful.

Last time I went into a different, chain hair salon they laughed at me when I brought a photo in :/ said noone had even done that before! Heard of it being done lots though.
