North Hertfordshire College is opening a brand new hair and beauty salon at its Hitchin campus on Cambridge road. The new Enhance Hair Salon and Energise Beauty Salon will officially launch on 9th February, offering a whole range of treatments at a competitive price.
The new salons will be open to the public all year round, allowing level 2, 3 and 4 students to gain real life commercial salon experience on real clients. These new commercial hair and beauty salons along with the recently opened hair and beauty training rooms at the Hitchin centre will provide students of all levels areas to learn and practice their technical skills, as well as the opportunity to gain valuable business skills and customer service experience.
David Pitcher, Assistant Principal for Creative and Cultural Industries at NHC, explained: “The new salons will provide students with a spacious modern learning environment and real work life experience. Mirroring industry salons and reducing the gap between college and salon life.”
Local salon owners and industry representatives were invited to preview the new commercial salons as well as the hair and beauty training rooms. Lorraine Winslade from Love Your Skin, London, commented: “It really does reflect industry; students get a real feel for the atmosphere of the workplace.” Ann-Marie Ng from Ann-Marie Hair Studio in Stevenage added: “It’s lovely, very modern and spacious.”
