Hair Stylist
I would recommend doing a hairdressing course at LMC, I learnt so many skills over the time I attended that I can carry through my career as a hair stylist.
Izzy chose to study Hairdressing at Lancaster & Morecambe College because she described it as offering a great learning environment within The Salon at the College.
After starting at LMC in 2019, throughout the course, Izzy learnt the key skills which encouraged her to become more confident in what she was doing, and also developed a more professional approach to hairdressing. One of the most important skills she learnt was how to deal with working under pressure, which is a huge factor within the hairdressing industry.
The best parts about my course at LMC was definitely the practical salon training, as I really enjoyed working on clients in The Salon at College.
Finishing her course in early 2022 at Prestige Hairdressing Salon, Izzy explains that continually uses all the skills she learnt at LMC in the role as a Hair Stylist. Izzy described her biggest accomplishment since leaving LMC is that she has developed as a stylist and is continuing to learn new techniques each month.
When asked what advice she would give someone considering applying for Hairdressing Apprenticeship course at LMC, Izzy said:

YOUR TUTOR(S)
My favourite part of my role is helping my students take the first step towards fulfilling their ambitions to go to university and, eventually, progressing into their dream careers.
The most satisfying part of my job role is inspiring students to have the confidence to become beauty therapists and work in their dream careers.
Whether you're confident that you want to be a plumber/gas engineer, think you want to try your hand at it, or have no idea what you want to do - plumbing or gas work is an excellent asset for anyone to have. They're both great career options, loved by foreign countries if you're looking to travel, or at the very least will save you some money on a plumber in the future no matter what you end up doing!
I really enjoy being part of the LMC Beauty Team and working within the department. Watching my students grow and develop their ideas and skillsets week on week is a really exciting part of my role, particularly when I can see them challenging themselves to get creative and try out new and different ideas.
Be prepared to work hard and be challenged. The more you put in, the more you will get out of the course. It's a rewarding experience as you can clearly see your skills develop. There is also a great demand for skilled plasterers and the potential for good earnings, so why not give it a go?
I love working with such keen and dedicated staff and students. I also like how every day is different because we attract such a wide range of students including year 11 from local high schools aged 16-18 who apply to the full time courses, to adult students who attend the part time courses. It’s nice to work with so many people from all different backgrounds and cultures who share a passion for cooking.
