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.

      Chicks and ducklings

      By malumbu · Posted

      Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

      By Sue · Posted

      If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

      I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
