Women’s Hairdressing Certificate Level 2
What is this course about?
Being a Hairdresser is about more than styling hair or delivering a cut and blow-dry service. It’s about helping people feel their best. With this course, you’ll be preparing for a rewarding career, meeting people from all walks of life and giving them confidence in their everyday lives.
This course aims for you to delve deeper into your creative skills whilst building your industry knowledge more and more by completing eight units with practical and theory elements. Practically, you will master the skills of cutting and styling women’s hair, hair up styles for all occasions, foiling techniques and colouring the hair. You will be introduced to creative colouring and advanced cutting which will support your progress to the Level 3 hairdressing course. You will have the chance to take part in a range of workshops during this course, in addition to attending industry-related trips and hearing from guest speakers.
The course is led by a team of passionate hairdressers with years of industry experience to share with you. You’ll be training in our very own salons, which are live environments where you can see what working in a salon is really like. This is the perfect training ground to develop your confidence, working with your classmates before progressing to real clients of the Inspirations Salon.

The staff at the College were so kind, supportive and helpful when I first met them. My peers had different abilities - some were already part of the fitness community, some were already personal trainers and the rest were beginners like me. It didn’t matter how new or how much experience you had. We all became a team and we all enhanced and supported each other’s experience. The Exercise to Music class gave me the confidence to understand how to support the participants, the confidence to stand in front of people, and support them all to do their best during training.
