With the current and upcoming trends in hairdressing, it is important for hairdressers and hairdressing students to be up to date with the theory and practice of this profession.

In order to stay in touch with recent styles and methods, a student should therefore attend an educational programme, lasting one or two scholastic years, to prepare for the time when they will be standing behind the salon chair, faced with the request to blow-dry, colour, cut and re-shape a haircut.

Those who are inexperienced at this stage should not undertake certain work, as one cannot replace cut hair, or re-tint immediately.

With Malta’s entry into the EU, a student should not rely upon any type of qualification, but should sit for an examination from a reputable institution, which is recognised abroad.

One should be prepared for the time when qualifications will become a must to practise this profession.

Courses in hairdressing are aimed at school-leavers seeking a new career, mothers who gave up their career while bringing up their young children and those who are already employed in this line of business but who do not possess the necessary certification.

The International School of Hairdressing in St Venera, prepares students for the certificate and/or diploma and advanced Levels of the City & Guilds exams.

The certificate level is a broad introduction to the theory and practice of hairdressing, to assist in a salon.

The diploma level provides more profound theory and practice, involving a broader range of subjects and skills and is appropriate for a person who would have obtained the certificate level, or for a person already working in a salon, having obtained experience and/or qualifications at a basic level.

The advanced diploma level is intended for diploma-holders and provides the ultimate in hairdressing theory and practice, suitable also for a salon owner who has gained qualification and/or experience, but does not possess a diploma at this high level.

The school will help you obtain the qualification and certificate that you have been longing for, if you are already employed or wish to start a career in this line of business.

The proven track record of excellent exam results is a guarantee to your future in the hairdressing industry in Malta and abroad.
