Hairdressing Apprentice - Blue Tit

An apprenticeship is a great way to kick-start your hairdressing career – take it from some of our top stylists. During your time as an apprentice, you’ll be working 4 days a week at one of our vibrant salons, while 1 day per week will be spent training at our partner Academy LHAA, where you’ll discover what it takes to become a top stylist.

What’s more, as a salon employee, you’ll enjoy the perks of the extended Blue Tit benefits package, including a free travel card for your first year. At Blue Tit, we recognise passion and potential, and are proud to be supporting and investing in people who want to take their first steps in hairdressing – we’re all about providing opportunities.
