Custom
I am currently at Sixth Form at The Weald School, studying Health & Social, Travel & Tourism and Sociology.
I chose this option because i’d hoped that i could train alongside Sixth Form in my spare time.
However having worked at The Rising Sun and studying 3 subjects it became too much and i quickly realised being unable to work would mean no funds for beauty training.
I have seen that you are opening a new salon in Billingshurst which is 5 minutes from my home. Since seeing this i have looked on your website and found that you offer training/apprenticeships.
This could be the opportunity that could get me into the Beauty Industry that i so desire.
