Recommended Posts

Dear All,


I was wondering if anyone knew what is the best way to become a qualified hairdresser? What qualifications do you need? What colleges you recommend etc. If there are any schemes/apprentices and if these are recommended


Thank you.

Hi Zeban


There different routes, in the hair dressing trade you can find a hair dresser that will train you up and send you to college on day release or you can apply directly to the colleges you will need NVQ qualification I have listed below some colleges that do hair dressing courses. I have friends who are hair dressers which went down both routes hope this is helpful.


? London College of Fashion

? London Hair School

? Waltham Forest Collage

? South Thames College

How to become a hair dresser,

1. have a lobotomy.

2. learn to speak shite for an hour at a time to the adjacent equally gormless hairdresser.

3. cut hair anyhow without paying the slightest attention to what you are doing whilst constantly ignoring the 'victim'.

4. burn the scalp with the dryer.

5. smile at the customer when they arrive at the till to entice a larger tip.

6. snigger and smirk to other hairdressers as you relieve the sap of a small fortune.

7. go out the back for a fag whilst next sap/victim sits and waits for another twenty minutes!



'Voila' one hairdressing professional.

Hmmm not sure where you're getting your hair cut but I used to work in a hairdresser a while back and it was nothing like that. My hairdresser also isn't like that, and I'm sure hairdressers on the forum would say you're talking crap!

Hmmm, I get the impression you think that makes you sound clever, but if you are even remotely serious about your experience, it just makes you a fool for not going somewhere better.


My hairdresser is fab and was really cool when I first went to see him while suffering from alopecia (i.e. was partly bald) and helped me with styling my hair to hide it the best I could while it got worse. Fortunately am now recovered, but I wouldn't dream of going elsewhere, trust him implicitly. Always get complements after every visit.

Lol, I did that as a kid - trying for the rapunzel look, refusing to let my mum cut my hair so it would reach past my waist.


But with naturally wild hair that just meant split ends and a tendency to tangles that led to hair being in plaits most of the time to prevent them.

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
