THE NEWS AND KNOW-HOW FROM YOUR INDUSTRY
Dylan Bradshaw
APPRENTICESHIP
CONSULTATIONS
TAKE PLACE
ACROSS THE
COUNTRY
FOLLOWING THE ANNOUNCEMENT
of an Irish apprenticeship in professional
hairdressing for the first time last year,
a series of consultation workshops have
been held around Ireland.
Entitled ‘Shaping the Future’,
these events were an opportunity for
hairdressing experts to unite and discuss
the new apprenticeship.
The events took place in Carleville in
Cork, Naas in Kildare and Carrick-on-
Shannon in Leitrim.
Attendees were given the opportunity
to meet those developing this new
apprenticeship and hear how it will affect
the industry and drive standards forward.
Participants were also encouraged to
propose modules and course content, and
the data collected from these workshops
will now be analysed to help create the
apprenticeship programme, ensuring it
covers everything needed for youngsters
to thrive in a modern salon.
Bridget Haren, president of the
Hairdressing Council of Ireland and
owner of Bridget Haren Hair & Beauty,
said: “This is going to be fantastic for
hairdressing in Ireland. It will most
certainly create opportunities and
attract young people into careers in
hairdressing.
“It will also provide them with
recognised qualifications, which
they can use to further progress their
career or indeed have the paperwork
to travel internationally.”
Future briefings will be published at
hairdressingapprenticeship.ie.

People tend to overuse the word ‘innovation’, but when we say
Wella Professionals’ Koleston Perfect with ME+ is the brand’s most
revolutionary colour innovation in more than a century, we mean
it. This is because Koleston Perfect with ME+ features breakthrough
technologies, Pure
Balance Technology and ME+,
proven to deliver rich results with
less damage, colour after colour.
It also reduces the risk of developing
a new allergy to hair colour.
