Still Wondering If It’s Right for You?
These stories from our students might help you decide.
“I was so unsure at first.”
Hayley didn’t know if hairdressing was for her. She felt nervous, lacked confidence, and wasn’t great around people. But one Taster Day changed everything.
“It felt like a proper salon day. We got to try things, not just sit and watch.”
For the first time, Hayley felt like she was doing something for herself - learning a skill, meeting new people, and gaining belief she could really do this.
“Michaela, my tutor, was amazing.
She helped me feel like I belonged.”
Now Hayley volunteers in a salon every week and is on track to becoming a qualified stylist.
I’ve always wanted to be a hairdresser… and open my own salon one day.”
Binita found TNB online, applied easily, and was welcomed straight into training. She knew this was the first step to making her dream a reality.
“It’s really impactful – I’ve learned so many things I didn’t know before.”
From colouring techniques to health and safety, every session gave her new skills and confidence.
The teachers are really good and friendly. They make the training useful and easy to understand.”
Binita now feels more prepared to run a salon one day, with the hands-on experience and knowledge she’s gained.
“I had a salon, but still lacked confidence.”
Paula owned a beauty business, but hair always felt like the missing piece. She didn’t feel ready to offer it.
“This course helped me believe in myself.”
TNB gave her the support, skills, and push to finally bring hair into her business, and start growing again.
“Now I know I can do it.”
She’s added a whole new income stream and says she’s finally moving forward again, with confidence.
It started with one decision. You’re never too late to learn something new.
