Coupled with the fact that I have young children I needed a business that will allow me work around them.  I took up the Foundation Course and now, I have set up my own salon.  After my first month in business, my shop now pays its own expenses. I am very happy as I have achieved the skill I wanted to start my business.  The rest is now left to me” Laurayn  – Ilford – London ”I am a mother with 3 young girls.  It was getting quite difficult to take them to the salon every week to get their hair ready for school. My children hated going to the salon as well because they could not run around and had issues with the braider who always pulled their hair too tight and combed it too rough.  I had to gain experience in hair braiding to save myself this problem.  I took up the 3 days Introduction to Braiding workshop.  Now I braid my children’s hair, save myself money, have peace of mind as my children are at home and my husband is very happy with the savings we have made from spending on 3 children’s hair every week.” Sharon  – Devon

After completing Introduction to Braiding and a course in Extensions everything changed for me.  With the skill in my hands, I changed my small salon into a big shop in Portsmouth.  See the picture of my shop above. I combine skill and sale of hair extensions & products. This has changed my life as I am a different person and a lot better than I ever dreamed. I cannot begin to quote my weekly earnings.Rita.  PortsmouthTaking a braiding training is one of the best decisions and investments I made.  Since completing my training, now I run my own International business  shuttling between England and Barbados. I have my own team of mobile beauticians and making money is no longer my problem.Shannelle Gill – Ellen Extensions Hair & Beauty
