Do you want to be a hairdresser or beauty therapist?
Would you enjoy learning an Holistic Therapy?


Barry College is a leading training provider for the hair and beauty industry in South Wales.

Our full-time courses train people of all ages to start careers such as Hair Stylists, Colourists, Beauty Therapists and Holistic Therapy Consultants. These courses have a practical focus, with work experience in the College and outside salons.

Our part-time courses offer those already working in hair or beauty salons the opportunity to gain industry recognised qualifications. These courses are run by day release or during the evening. Many part-time courses are also suitable if you want to gain hair, beauty or holistic therapy skills – to start a new career or simply for enjoyment.

All courses are taught in our new, state of the art beauty and holistic therapy salon – `Academi @ Barry College’.  It is recognised as one of the best facilities in the country – with L’Oreal and Goldwell also using it for their own training courses.

Where can it take me?
Over 90% of full-time students gain employment in the industry by the end of their course. Some start work on cruise ships and in TV & media, as well as hairdressing and beauty salons.

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!”
