All-round hairdresser (bol)

As an all-around hairdresser or hairstylist, you'll work in a hair salon. This could also be a specialized business, such as a women's hairdresser, men's hairdresser, or a trendy hairdresser, depending on your specialization. You can also continue your studies with the Level 4 Salon Manager program.

In the first part of the program, you'll attend school four days a week and do an internship one day a week. In the second part of the program, you'll choose your specialization: Female Hairstylist or Male Hairstylist. You'll attend school three days a week and do an internship two days a week.

Personalized learning
We'll always discuss your learning path with you to determine what it will look like. This means you can complete the program in two to three years.

In the Education and Examination Regulations (OER) of a study program, you can read what you will be doing in which period, how much time is spent on this, and an overview of the exams that will be administered. Find the OER for your study program here.

Search by your Crebo number (see the box on the right of this page) to view the OER for the current academic year. This will give you a general idea of what's expected of you when you start the program. The OER for the upcoming academic year will be available in July.

The first year is a joint foundation year where you'll learn the basics of hairdressing, including cutting, washing, and blow-drying. During practical lessons, you'll work with students of all levels on the practical floor. After the foundation year, you'll start working with your level 2 diploma or continue your studies at level 3 or 4.

It's possible to complete the foundation year within one year, but you can also take longer (up to two years). Hairstylists (level 2 vocational and work-based learning) and salon managers (level 3 vocational) are required to complete the foundation year in one year, so they can move on to the Ladies' or Gentlemen's profile section in year two.

The statutory tuition fee for the 2026-2027 school year is 1.511 euros. Check DUO.nl for possible student finance.

You only pay this if you are 1 years or older at the start of the academic year (18 August).
