Our training salons are open to the public, so once you have mastered your technique you will have the opportunity to practice your skills and client relationships with paying customers.
We have professional salons at both our Witney campus and Abingdon campus. Each salon has multiple styling bays with large working areas; giving you space to concentrate and creating plenty of room for your clients to relax.
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.
In January 2022, one of our part time students became the first student nationally to receive the title of ‘Master Stylist’ from our partner Lee Stafford Education.
Achieving this would have been a huge for even the most experienced college hair trainer, as it is the standard which all our tutors and teaching staff are required to train to.
However, with ambition and determination, after several years of study our student decided to take it on and performed exceptionally throughout her training.
Her new title recognised that she can reproduce 22 of Lee Stafford’s signature hair styles, following his step by step guides, with quality and precision which replicates Lee Stafford’s own standard.
