Term 1 · Hair Science & Basics
BeginnerHair & Scalp Theory
🎯 Objective: Classify hair types.
Hair structure and growth cycle, common disorders, and strict sanitation/infection control. Healthy hair starts with a healthy, clean foundation.
🧪 Lab: Consultation & scalp check.
✅ Self-check: Why is infection control the first lesson, not the last?
Cutting Foundations
🎯 Objective: Perform a basic cut.
Sectioning, elevation angles, and scissor/razor technique. A great cut is 50% technique, 50% listening to what the client actually wants.
🧪 Lab: Practice on a mannequin.
✅ Self-check: Why does elevation angle change the final shape?

Term 2 · Colour & Style
IntermediateColour Theory & Application
🎯 Objective: Formulate a colour.
Levels, tones, lightening, grey coverage, and safety. Colour is chemistry — respect the developer and the strand.
🧪 Lab: Colour application (simulation).
✅ Self-check: What happens if you overlap lightener on already-lightened hair?
Salon Business
🎯 Objective: Run a client booking.
Client service, retail, and hygiene law. A stylist is half artist, half business owner — the client experience is the brand.
🧪 Lab: Mock client flow.
✅ Self-check: How do you turn a one-time client into a regular?
