We are the only college in Oxfordshire to partner with industry-leading hairdresser Lee Stafford to deliver exceptional training at both campuses.
There are visits to employers to experience different salon environments, as well as taking part in competitions and shows - these include Lee Stafford's photoshoot, Inspire, World Skills and the department end of year show.
Abingdon & Witney College are proud to be partnered with Lee Stafford Education, a leading provider in hairdressing training.
Lee regularly visits our salons, providing masterclasses for students and passing on his many years of expertise.
All our dedicated tutors have been put to the test by Lee Stafford and know how to ensure you are getting the latest industry skills to take into your career.
And why not? You get to meet lots of different people, making them look and feel great, and you're never stuck behind a desk.
On our Hairdressing courses, you will stay up to speed with the latest trends in cutting, styling and colouring, working through the different 'recipes' as delivered on the Lee Stafford Hair & Beauty Academy programme.
Our hairdressing courses also teach soft skills as you gain experience working within the salon. Teamwork, communication, good English and maths skills, business and sales acumen – these are really important for employers, and working on the salon reception, taking bookings or advising clients on their options will boost learning in these areas.
