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.

      Recommendation for brilliant local Piano Teacher

      By nbb · Posted

      Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie.

      So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      I'm not talking about Starmer. I was responding to a post which  said that  Corbyn was unelectable. How people voted in the "more hotly contested election" is irrelevant. Corbyn wasn't leading the Labour Party then. Starmer was. And the turnout for Labour reflects that.
