Global Haircare Company Schwarzkopf Visits Chelmsford College Students
Hairdressing students at Chelmsford College had the opportunity to learn from industry experts on Thursday the 5th November, when staff from the renowned Schwarzkopf Professional visited the College's Princes Road campus. The students were lucky enough to hear from two guest speakers Lexi Ambroz and Sean Johnston, who are Education Experts for Schwarzkopf Professional.
The morning began with a lecture-style theory discussion, where students explored different approaches to colouring hair, gained an insight into professional techniques and had the opportunity to hear directly from the experts working in the hair industry.
In the afternoon, the event moved into the College's very own Princes Road Salons to put what they had learnt into practice. Working on mannequin heads, they tried out the techniques, with both Lexi and Sean on hand to offer further guidance and support.
Lucy Wilson, Hairdressing Lecturer at Chelmsford College, who facilitated the visit, said "Visits like this are a fantastic way to bring industry and education together. Our students really enjoyed having the opportunity to learn from Schwarzkopf professionals before putting those techniques into practice. It helps them understand current industry expectations and builds their confidence for their future careers."
Chelmsford College would like to thank Lexi and Sean for sharing their expertise and giving students an insight into the world of professional hair colouring. The visit successfully gave the hair department a valuable opportunity to develop their technical knowledge, ask questions and gain a better understanding of professional hairdressing beyond the classroom.
