Find an employer
The first step in beginning a career in hair is to find somewhere you would like to work and learn
Being an apprentice means becoming a paid employee, so you will need to get that job first. Finding the best salon for YOU is vitally important.
What should I look for in a salon?
Go to your local salons or salons where you think you would like to work. Ask yourself how you felt about the salon and whether or not you would want to work there.
Ask the owner/manager:
Does the salon offer structured training?
How they train apprentices, is it look and learn, or look and learn during set training sessions?
Would you get paid while you are at off-job training?
You want to look for a salon or barbershop which is clean, has a good reputation and has good training already happening. Ask yourself if you think you could fit in there.
