I am working at my Level Two in hairdressing with tpm. I was worried that my dyslexia would be a barrier but the education and training I have received has shown me that there are no barriers in life!
A friend suggested I ask Connexions for guidance on what to do when I left school. When I said I was interested in hairdressing, Connexions helped me apply for an apprenticeship and referred me to tpm. Here, we spoke about my strengths – how I liked using my hands and was practical, as well as creative. We also spoke about my uncertainty about completing theory work and written assignments. Straightaway I was offered extra support and training in reading and writing. This was a relief and I was glad I had been honest about this from the start.
I train ‘on the job’. So far I have learnt to colour and cut hair but it’s about talking to people too. Making the customer happy is essential and for this I need to use listening and social skills. I find that this is what makes everyday interesting.
Everyday is different and I love what I do, whether it’s dealing with people or styling hair. I can’t wait to do my Level Three in Hairdressing next.
