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, 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.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
