Students studying hair and beauty are calling on people to let them put their talents to work.

Students at Wilson Marriage Centre, in Colchester, working toward a Levels 2 and 3 qualification in the industry need to put their theory into practice by cutting and styling hair on real people.

For discounted prices, men and women can have their hair cut and styled while helping learners gain their qualifications.

Dan Land, marketing officer at adult community learning at Essex County Council, said: “The value for money in our salons is second to none, men’s cuts, women’s styling or just a relaxing beauty treatment.”

Beauty treatments include waxing, spray tans, pedicures and massages.

To book a hair treatment call 07557 081576 and for beauty 07557 081 575.
