Characterization of the Specialization

This educational field requires manual skills and intellectual knowledge; the application of an aesthetic perception and creative and logical thinking. Students extend their skills acquired in previous training in the vocational course Hairdresser. They develop their practical skills in modernly-equipped premises at the school by meeting customers there. They acquire additional knowledge and skills in the field of hair care products, cosmetics, psychology and hygiene. A part of the training is the opportunity to take part in excursions, lectures and competitions (e.g. Young Fashion Designer in Jihlava and Caliber Cup in Lanškroun).

The school also provides refresher courses, such as hair extensions, nail modeling, etc.

Profile of the Graduate

The graduate can work as a hairdresser with wider possibilities thanks to higher qualifications. The graduates are fully independent in providing professional hairdressing services in medium-sized and small-sized companies, studios and salons, where they make women’s, men’s and children’s haircuts with use of well-chosen technological processes and in accordance with individual customer requirements, aesthetic requirements, fashion trends, and occupational safety and hygiene regulations. Their care is much more complex in the area of consulting in terms of hair treatment and design of a fashionable hairstyle. The graduates can also find employment as a self-employed person in the field of hairdressing.

Within this field of study, the students gain work experience in the hairdressing salon in the school building, which is available to public.
