Hairdressing

Quest offers a unique choice of training methods which can be adapted to meet the requirements of individual salons and juniors. Apprentices can attend training at Quest's new salon on a day release basis or can be assessed in their own salons by a Quest Assessor or a combination of both. Alternatively, a salon's own staff can also be trained by Quest to assess their own juniors. Young people can join Quest's hairdressing training programme at any time during the year and the programme is designed to ensure that practical and theory training is not affected when an apprentice is absent through sickness or holidays.
