I don't even know where to find it?? And I'd like to follow it and keep up as I find it helpful but it's doesn't even look like people use it anymore which makes it hard to see a pattern.., like from April to Dec 16 is good and this year suddenly it's like there a decline (which I don't believe) ..... so can someone shed some light on this or am I just being thick? Lol

Hey, Where can i find the spreadsheet? Regards

I just want a clear answer--- can hairdressers apply after tomorrow or not?? Its On the list but has *** next to it.... someone help so I don't have to sit in hours of call queues in the morning....

I'm in Geelong and love it. I'm also a hairdresser. Which salon are you going for? Highton is where we are and it's fab.

Hey guys, I'm onshore and my employer has submitted my 186 nomination, I'm just awaiting my Vetassess results to submit my side of the application. I have my medical on Wednesday but I'm aware they may re ask me to do this as waiting times are so long. Its frustrating however as I'm onshore I will be put on a bridging visa whilst I await so I can still stay here. Notthern territory and Tasmania are both offering 190 state sponsorship for hairdressing still- I almost moved to Tassie in order to obtain my PR however my employer wanted to keep me in the end and therefore started the lengthy and complicated 186 visa application for which I am very grateful for. I actually managed to get a job in Tassie at a lovely salon so I can recommend anyone if you guys did want to take the tassie route as I no they are still looking and we're keen on having people who were commited as they have had some bad luck with Aussie staff. With regards to videos--- I didn't submit any? I submitted 12 years of salon experience. Letters from all 3 employers as well as payslips and bank statements for the whole period. I submitted level 1,2 and 3 nvq hair. Level 3 nvq management, and TAQA vocational assessors award for hair. I then submitted all my additional certificates for L'Oréal , Wella, hair extensions, cutting courses I've done over the years. I think I had about 30 certificates all in all. I then submitted around 50 photos of cuts and colours and bridal hair and hair extensions I've done over the years. Because I wasn't in all the photos however I did do the requirement of taking before during and after photos of me doing; mens cut and beard trim full head foils and cut and I bought a dolls head to perm all of which was sufficient and I wasn't required to submit any more documents- I had my successful outcome within 3 weeks of submitting everything. I don't no if it's different because I'm onshore? Or maybe it's because I haven't used a migration agent... I just went through all the paper work and requirements and rang up throughout the process to ensure I included all the evidence required. From what I can gather you can either submit videos or photos as evidence - as long as you cover the criteria required and show what they want then your fine. Again I don't know if this is because I'm onshore. Laura and Vicki where abouts are you girls now? Brills are you currently in the Uk?

Hey guys, i just sat my technical interview in Melbourne and wanted to give an update to this feed since I used this forum to help guide me through what to expect and found it very helpful. So here are the questions I was asked that were the same as above: What way would you hold your fingers when cutting a graduated bob? Name 3 hazards in the salon and explain how you would fix it? How do you know when to neutralise a chemical straightening? How would you scissors over comb a man's hair? How would you put up a french roll? i also got asked what two things we as hairdressers do that harm the environment, and name some ways of how we can contribute to the environment. how you maintain your tools and equipment. Other then the above questions I was asked none of what everyone else has posted so I think they have changed there questions. Here re some questions I was asked: how do you ensure personal hygiene stanadards are kept? How do you communicate in the salon? How do you prepare your work station? How do you minimise cross infection? How do you remove colour from the head? How do you remove processed foils? How do you prepare basin area? Give an example of a client complaint and how you delt with it? Describe how you would do a short graduation and round later combination cut? I was shown a picture of a short grad bob and asked where I would start cutting the hair. ask how I would do a combination of three cutting techniques in one cut. I was asked how I scissor over comb i was asked how to do a short back and sides I was asked how I would do a longer men's style I was asked how I would do a fashionable men's style how do you ensure your client has an even colour? what questions do you ask in a colour consultation? What skin conditions have you identified in the salon and what was your advice? How do you do a partial or full head of foils? Name two colour correction techniques you have done and describe the process? How would you apply a scalp bleach to virgin hair? How would you apply a touch up scalp bleach? I had to explain the process for chemical straightening step by step- despite never having done one so please note the multiple choice option no longer exsists and I've got to thank the girls on this post previously because if it wasn't for them I would not have studied this before hand- fingers crossed I answererd correct. What chemical straightening products are on the market? (Like what brand) are flat irons used in a chemical service? How would you do a curly blow dry? How would you do a volumised blow dry? Give examples of how you recommend additional products and services to clients? How do you straighten hair? Thats all I can remember for now. These were all from the compulsory units which if you go to Vetassess website and find hairdressing fact sheet states which units are compulsory. You then select three selective units to answer questions on, again you will find information on choices of elective units on Vetassess website. I selected: Braids: how would you complete a 2 strand braid? How would you complete a 3 strand braid? How would you complete a 4 strand valid? Then I selected Stocktake: how do you receive stock in the salon? Where do you store it? Then I selected Hair extensions: how do you prepare hair extensions prior to application? Describe the process of adding hair extensions? Describe how you would blend in hair Exstensions? And that was it. So fingers crossed I passed. I know there's not much online in the way of guidance through this stressful time (we all just want to do a practical don't we?!??) and this was the only forum I found that gave me any help and guidance to which I am grateful for so I just thought I would add to it and update on my experience today! I hope this helps someone :-)

Hey guys
