What you'll learn

In the beauty industry, time is of the essence. Hairstyling for makeup artists develops a diverse skillset, teaching you to work quickly and efficiently to produce stunning hair designs in a professional setting. Alongside the techniques obtained in this hairstyling certificate course, you also gain knowledge in professionalism, etiquette, appearance, communication, and sanitization.

Your experience of makeup and hairstyling techniques will prove to be a valuable asset, providing you with a competitive edge in the beauty industry, where most candidates only train in hairstyling or makeup exclusively. By specializing in both fundamentals, you become a more versatile professional, capable of working in any environment.

This course builds upon your existing base of information, offering far more than just some tips and tricks. As compelling as your makeup skills may already be, imagine if your hairstyling was equal in accomplishment. You will emerge from this photographic hairstyling course as a well-rounded hairstylist, ready to tackle a diverse range of assignments.
