Collinge & Co Training
We are long established in training hairdressers and are at the forefront of apprenticeship training.
We educate Apprentices towards the Hair Professional and the Advanced & Creative Hair Professional Apprenticeship Standards. Our approach to hairdressing training is to build a solid foundation of theoretical understanding mixed with great practical opportunities. Apprentices are employed and work in the hairdressing salons whilst gaining their apprenticeships. The Collinge & Co Graduates salon on Bold Street, Liverpool, id the home of our training centre. Hair Professional Apprentices gain their skills working in our purpose built 1st-floor training salon. Advanced & Creative Apprentices work in the Graduates salon, where newly qualified hairdressers have the opportunity to build up a clientele in a busy and energetic hairdressing salon whilst studying. We believe varied practical hairdressing experience is the key to good vocational learning.

As part of their preparation for their professional discussion, Level 3 Advanced and Creative Hair Professional apprentices plan, create, and photograph a finished look that demonstrates their technical skills in colour and styling.
During the photoshoot, each apprentice brings their creative vision to life while directing both their model and the overall photography. From the background and styling to makeup and posing, they consider every detail carefully to create a complete look.
This year’s groups created some stunning looks, showcasing their skills and creativity. Let’s take a look!
