All-round hairdresser & nail technician (BOL)

Hair styling and nail styling in one course!

Want to learn more than just the basics of hairdressing? Then this course is perfect for you! You'll be trained as a versatile hairdresser and nail technician, so your clients can shine!

This course goes beyond the basics. During the combined All-round Hairdresser & Nail Technician course at Level 3, 30% of the lessons cover your work as a nail technician (nail styling) and 70% cover the work as a hair technician, an all-round hairdresser with a specialization in hairstyling.

You'll work with all techniques and hair types during this combined training program. As a versatile hairdresser, you'll be able to perform a hair and scalp diagnosis. This will form the basis for your consultation on a new hairstyle, naturally also considering facial shape, personality, and color. Your own grooming is always impeccable, and you and your colleagues will create a friendly atmosphere in the salon, keeping each other informed about trends and the latest techniques.

At school, you'll learn the intricacies of hairdressing: cutting, styling, blow-drying, styling, perms, waves, and coloring. You'll learn how a different hair color can make a huge difference, but also that some people are allergic to hair dye and color rinses. You'll also learn all about different nail types and the right approach for the best results.

The course was formerly called Nail & Hair Technician (all-round hairdresser).
