ARE you a young hairdresser looking to become a cut above the rest?
Then make sure you don't miss your chance to snap up one of two work experience places at a top Cleethorpes salon – where you can develop your hairdressing skills and learn all there is to know about the beauty industry, too.
Julie Pelling, the owner of Top Tips By Julie, in Grimsby Road, said there was also the chance one of the placements could lead to a permanent post, as she plans to take on an apprentice after Christmas.
She is offering the placements as part of the Grimsby Telegraph's Your Life: Your Future campaign, which once again aims to help tackle unemployment and secure jobs for local people. Backed by Prime Minister David Cameron, the aim of the latest drive is to secure a week of work experience for 200 people from our area in an attempt to get people in or back to work.
Julie, who has worked in the industry since 2002 and opened her own salon almost three years ago, said she was looking forward to passing on her skills and experience.
She added that she and senior stylist Jess Crosby would train the successful candidate in all aspects of the business, so that they would eventually become a fully-fledged member of the small, but highly-skilled team.
She said: "We are looking for someone who can already do hairdressing to level 2 or above, but wants to progress into beauty, too.
"We do all aspects of hairdressing here, including hair extensions – which they may not have learned how to do at college – and, on the beauty side, we do acrylic nail extensions, waxing, facials and spray tanning – all of which we will teach them how to do."
"The ideal candidate will be someone who started doing hair previously, so they know the basics.
"As far as beauty goes, I am happy to support them through learning it from scratch.
"I have often met people working in hairdressing who have an interest in beauty, but never got into it because, when you're studying, you get lost in what you're doing and other things get forgotten.
"By coming to us they are going to be able to keep their hand in with hairdressing – and learn new techniques – but learn new beauty skills too."
