About This Course

This course advances the student’s skills acquired in year 1. Students practice and perfect skills on training heads as well as clients in the salons in the Institute. This ensures that students will have developed the necessary employability skills to meet the needs of the clients in the hairdressing industry, providing services such as cutting, colouring, styling and hair extensions as well as treatment and product advice.

As part of the Advanced Hairdressing course, students are also required to complete a photoshoot, creating a themed look. This is an excellent opportunity for students to develop their creative skills, which will showcase their talents to prospective employers.

Advanced Beauty Aesthetics and Body Treatments

The Beauty Therapy course is made up of a variety of modules, which are a mix of practical and theory classes. What I loved most about my time at Cavan Institute was working closely with the lecturers who were all so helpful and passionate about giving us the best possible education.
