Abbie Magee, 26, Barry NVQ 2 and NVQ 3 Hairdressing “I had to show a great deal of commitment to both the NVQ 2 and 3 in order to succeed whilst working. I now have a good client list at the salon I work at. The course definitely helped me to build my confidence both in hairdressing skills and when speaking to clients.” Elaine Jones, 40, Barry NVQ 3 Hairdressing “I was always interested in hairdressing whilst at school but was persuaded to follow a secretarial course. So when the opportunity arose for me to come to College many years later to study Hairdressing I took it. I complemented my studies with various beauty courses and once qualified worked at a salon whilst studying higher level hairdressing courses. I am now working as Salon Manager in ‘Academi @ Barry College’ – the Barry College hair and beauty training academy and studying the HNC in Business Management and Administration. I thoroughly enjoyed my time as a learner at College – it took my career in a whole new and exciting direction!” Academi @ Barry College Our salon offers excellent value haircuts, colour and perm treatments for men, women and children.
