Outcomes

5 routes mapped from this qualification.

Hair Stylist
Cuts, colours and styles hair in a salon or independently, and builds a following that comes back for them specifically. The client book is the real asset.
Alternative route
Salon Owner
Owns and runs a salon, carrying the rent, the staff, the stock and the marketing as well as the craft. Location and repeat clients decide whether it works.
Alternative route
Salon Manager
Manages a salon's operations - staff, appointments, stock, hygiene and revenue - usually while still taking clients. The bridge between stylist and owner.
Alternative route
Beautician and salon professional
Hair, skin and beauty services, working in a salon, on home visits or from your own studio. One of the few routes where a Class 10 passer can be earning within months and owning the business within a few years.
Alternative route
Spa Therapist
Delivers massage, skin and body treatments in a spa, hotel or wellness centre, and manages client comfort and hygiene throughout. Physically demanding work with long standing hours.
