Hairdressing Academy Thriving in Coventry

Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce Training’s (CWCCT) hairdressing training team is committed to developing the skills of the next generation of stylists and facilitating work opportunities with some of the area’s leading salons. A recent initiative at CWCCT’s hairdressing academy in Coventry offered free haircuts for children returning to school to raise funding for charity, The Little Princess Trust.

Commenting on the scheme, Jayne Powell, Head Trainer at Chamber Training’s Hair Academy said: “We are extremely proud to be able to support a worthy charity such as The Little Princess Trust. Recently we were approached by a mother and her child, Darcy, who was eager to donate his hair. The charity is keen to source hair donations of over 7cm long and his hair was the perfect length.

“We are lucky enough to have links with the Trust which creates wigs and hair pieces for young children who are battling cancer. Our team is always keen to help charities and this type of positive work has been taking place in the salon for many years. Providing support for charity has brought a great sense of community and pride for our team, especially our hairdressing apprentices.

“In other Chamber Training hairdressing news, we would also like to wish good luck to Lauren Burgess at LB Hair Studio in Nuneaton.  As an ex-apprentice, she is establishing her own salon and has decided to employ an apprentice of her own who will learn her craft with our team at Chamber Training. It is amazing to see our ex-apprentices passing on their knowledge to the next generation within the industry.

“Finally, Chamber Training will shortly be announcing a ‘Two-Tone Style’ competition, which will celebrate Coventry as the City of Culture and the historical role two-tone played in the music scene within the City. Further details will be announced shortly, so watch this space!”

Chamber Training’s Hairdressing Academy is committed to providing its apprentices with high-quality work experience and employment in salons across the city and county to gain practical skills and knowledge in the latest industry trends and techniques as part of their apprenticeship programme. Apprenticeships offer a personalised learning pathway, with apprentices working four days in their workplace, alongside one day of dedicated training each week at Chamber Training’s hairdressing academy, which provides apprentices with on-the-job and off-the-job experience required to become a fully qualified stylist.
