Hairstyling Foundation 3 (HAIR 1030)

Expanding upon the skills acquired in HAIR 1020, students dive into the essentials of specialized services, focusing on wigs, hairpieces, and extensions. Students explore the intricacies of different wig types, hairpieces, and extensions, delving into measuring criteria for fitting maintenance and cleaning techniques. As part of their practical experience, students have a second opportunity to observe, learn, and assist in a professional salon environment. Applying their acquired skills following salon requirements, students also take the time to reassess their career goals and craft self-marketing tools. This includes the development of a professional portfolio, practicing interview techniques, and creating a comprehensive resume and cover letter. Guest speakers representing salon franchises, corporations, and salon owners are invited to share valuable insights into their hiring criteria. Over nine weeks, students prepare for the SkilledTradesBC practical exam and gear up for the theory exam leading to their SkilledTradesBC Hairstylist Certificate of Completion.
