Grow your salon's future with a Hair & Beauty Apprentice
Published: 15th of July 2026
Finding talented professionals can be a challenge, but a hair & beauty Apprentice offers a fantastic opportunity to develop someone who understands your business from day one.
At Apprenticeships+ we help salons recruit and train Apprentices who can grow into confident, skilled members of the team. By combining hands-on experience in your salon with expert training at college, Apprentices develop the technical knowledge, practical skills and confidence needed to succeed in the industry.
Develop talent your way
Hiring an Apprentice allows you to shape their skills to meet the needs of your business while they work towards a nationally recognised qualification.
Beauty Beneath Salon owner Afshan Islam has experienced the benefits first-hand.
"Hiring an Apprentice is a cost-effective way to grow the team. The two-year commitment gives us time to develop them, and that continuity is great for the salon and our clients."
She also highlights the importance of investing time in an Apprentice, helping them build the skills and confidence needed for a successful career.
Supported by industry experts
Our Apprentices benefit from the guidance of experienced tutors like Louise Bell, who combines teaching with running her own hair and beauty business.
Having started her own career through an Apprenticeship at The Sheffield College, Louise understands what employers are looking for and brings current industry knowledge into every learner's training.
This means your Apprentice is supported both in the workplace and at college, ensuring they continue to develop throughout their programme.
Creating confident professionals
Our Apprentices consistently tell us how valuable it is to learn in both the salon and the classroom.
Level 2 Hairdressing Apprentices Lailah and Darcie enjoy putting their college learning into practice in the salon, while Summer Smith says working with clients every day has helped build her confidence and develop skills that simply can't be learnt in a classroom alone.
The result is an Apprentice who is continually growing in confidence, technical ability and customer service skills, all qualities that benefit your business.
Invest in your future workforce
Whether you're looking to grow your team, develop future talent or bring fresh ideas into your salon, a hair & beauty Apprentice is an investment in the future of your business.
Our Apprenticeships+ team is here to support you every step of the way, from advertising your vacancy and finding the right candidate to providing ongoing support throughout the Apprenticeship.

Growth and Skills Levy Reforms: Why Levy-Paying Employers Should Act Now
The Government’s Growth and Skills Levy reforms will change how levy-paying employers access and use Apprenticeship funding. While designed to create a more flexible skills system, the changes could reduce the value of unused levy funds and increase future training costs.
