Polkey Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 Im Afraid We May Be The Only Hairdressers On This Sight As I Have Had No Luck In Finding Any Info About Wages. Some Of The Jobs I Have Found Online Offer 'award Wages' Wich I Think Is The Same Sort Of Deal As Minimum Wage But Not Sure. Either Way It Dont Look Good. As Far As Level 2 Goes,it Will Get You Past The Tra Wich Is The Important Bit At This Stage But You Have To Go Into So Much Detail. The Size Of The Sections The Angles You Take, Is It Point Cut , Club Cut ,sliced, Back Cut ....... It Took Me Months So I Would Start Doing It Asap As Its The Longest Hardest Part Of The Whole Proccess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
