Master Hairdresser obtained in a one year period which normally takes 2 years
While going to school everyday to take my course I worked for free at a great hairdressing shop to obtain the hours that I needed to speed up my designation as Master Hairdresser. There I really had the experience to see the "Real World" of what my studies would lead to. I really enjoyed working with the public, however difficult it was well worth the effort.
