At Phoenix Bay, learning isn’t just something that happens in classrooms, it happens through hands-on, confidence-building, real-life experiences.
Our students have been working towards their AQA Hair, Beauty and Nail Unit Awards, and the salon vibes have been strong. From basic hairstyling and skincare routines to makeup application and professional-level nail treatments, they’re gaining the kind of experience that sticks.
But this course is about more than polish and products. It’s about building confidence, learning to work safely and professionally, and developing the people skills needed to thrive in real-world settings. Every student moves at their own pace, earning practical skills and qualifications along the way.
Health and safety. Hygiene. Customer care. Conduct. It’s all in there, alongside laughter, encouragement, and a genuine buzz of students cheering each other on.
For some, this is the first step towards a future in hair and beauty. For others, it’s about finding a skill they enjoy and a space where they shine.
By the end, every learner leaves with more than a certificate, they leave with a foundation to build on.
Whether it’s further training, apprenticeships or future qualifications, they’re set up to take their next step with confidence.
