What Our Learners Say

Lilly-Rose Cumper

The Programmes have been challenging at times but rewarding. I have had an amazing and supportive role model to guide me through it. I would recommend Reflections Training to anyone who is interested in hairdressing. The courses have been enjoyable and helped me progress in my career.

Zac Evans

“Overall, I accomplished full knowledge of barbering, communication skills and professionalism. I was very inspired by my tutors they supported me through my apprenticeship. I would have given up on my career goals if it was not for Reflections support and time. Even after finishing my apprenticeship with Reflections Training Academy, I was always made to always feel welcome in the Academy.”

Khayla Hancock

“When I started at Reflections I was scared because it was all new to me but very soon after I made new friends and everyone there is so kind and welcoming. I have learnt so much about hairdressing and I am excited to learn what else Reflections has to offer.”

Katie Wainman

“When I first signed up I didn’t expect to get an offer of an apprenticeship, due to swapping full-time college and I was in my 30s but I was wrong. The classes are a mixture of people of all ages and backgrounds and I’ve always looked forward to my academy days. The classes are a mix of practical and theory with small groups, so we get 1-2-1 time with the tutors who are really patient with great communication skills. I’ve learnt so much more about hairdressing with reflections.”

Emma

“I just wanted to say thank you for letting me be a part of the ambassador group, I think it’s a really great idea and I like what you are trying to do with it by giving the learners a voice. It’s been really good for me just to have that interaction with other learners and to share my opinions. Overall I have gained a lot from completing my course.”

Treana Hart

“It was great having the support and guidance on my Study programme course. The team were really caring and gave me the confidence I needed in my hair work. The course also provided me with extra help in my Maths and English.”
