About me during/after college and work experience!
By Armani wainwright
First year at Kirklees college
LEVEL 1 HAIRDRESSING- 2021-2022
Level 1 was my first year at college, I learnt a lot about hair and I felt scared of my future.
Level 1 taught me how to cope with basics of hairdressing and most of it I still use to this day.
A lot of clients in a salon ask for a basic blowdry and a curly blowdry and basic styling of hair.
I highly recommend Kirklees college as they help me through my life.
Second year at Kirklees college!
LEVEL 2 HAIRDRESSING-2022-2023
Level 2 was harder but I knew a lot.
Level 2 prepared me to know the basics for level 3 and I use a lot of the things you learn.
From doing clients every lesson to now working in a salon is crazy and I really am glad I stuck it out. Every single lesson I had multiple clients waiting for me, didn’t matter how I did it, I wanted to learn.
Level 2 prepared me for basic colours and showed me what a salon would be run like in my future.
Third year at Kirklees college!
LEVEL 3 HAIRDRESSING-2023-2024
Level 3 was my hardest year, I lost my nana, but showed I was still willing to show I wanted the qualification.
I did clients non stop working till after we got dismissed as I wanted the clients to leave happy and know they were not gonna go home with there hair not finished.
I did a week at a salon close to home, worked consistantly with the stylist and it showed me how a salon works and is controlled.
What have you learnt in level 2
4th year at Kirklees college!
LEVEL 3 BARBERING- 2024-2025
Level 3 barbering was very similar to level 3 hair.
I learnt a lot of techniques on how to cut male heads and how to treat males hair compared to womans.
In my mind I wanted to be able to cut anyone who walked into my salon as I knew I wanted to own one.
I wanted to learn how to perm aswell as do mens and womans hair
5th year at Kirklees college!
LEVEL 2 BEAUTY 2025-2026
Level 2 beauty was hard for me, I struggled to pass the exams.
I was working a full time job while at college, studying on a evening when id finished work.
I am glad I stuck it out and I passed. Realising a lot of my clients like to have a pamper aswell as hair cuts/ colours.

What do you think is the most important factor of hairdressing is?
Work experience in hair and beauty industry
I did a few weeks in a salon.
It prepared me for when I left college.
It showed me how a salon is run and how busy they get. (especially during Christmas)
It showed how product waste is minimal; otherwise, it’s costing a lot.
It showed me how salon stylists work together as they are very helpful to each other.
It put a picture in my head of how I want my salon to be!

What is the most important thing about work experience?
Work experience is important because it helps you connect what you learn in the classroom to real-world jobs. This way, you can develop practical skills and make a good impression on employers.
Essential Skills for the Workplace
Build Soft Skills: Learn how to talk to others, work well in a team, and find solutions to problems.
Gain Commercial Awareness: Understand how a real business works every day.
Improve Work Readiness: Develop skills like managing your time, being resilient, and behaving professionally.
Work experience allows you to test if a career suits your interests. It provides insight into how professionals handle real-world tasks and challenges. It also boosts your confidence by familiarising you with professional routines.
Having work experience can make your CV stand out, showing employers your motivation and work ethic. It helps grow your professional network, leading to advice, references, or job opportunities. Additionally, some educational courses require work experience for entry, making it a valuable step in your career path.
