What you'll do

Love hair, fashion and getting creative? Always interested in the latest trends and styles? This could be the perfect opportunity to turn your passion into a career!

We're looking for a Hairdressing Apprentice to join our professional salon in Bath, where you'll learn from experienced stylists, get hands-on experience and work towards your Level 2 Hair Professional Apprenticeship with Reflections Training Academy.

You'll be learning something new every day, developing your skills and building the confidence to become a great hairdresser.

What you'll be doing:

What we're looking for:

Someone who's enthusiastic, friendly, creative and keen to learn. You don't need to know everything about hair already, just bring a positive attitude, a willingness to work hard and a genuine interest in the industry.

Ready to get started in hairdressing? This could be the beginning of something exciting!
