East Sussex College offers a new online hairdressing course

The college is giving people a quick online course to learn how to cut hair from the comfort of their own home.

The free online course will run on February 4 from 1pm-2.30pm.

Up to 30 people can join the session on Google Classroom. It will be led by expert hairdressing tutor Emma Hawkes as she demonstrates how to create a professional one length haircut.

Emma Hawkes, lead hairdressing lecturer at East Sussex College, said, “This free short course is ideal for anyone who wants to learn about hairdressing, anyone thinking of changing careers, or anyone desperate to give their children a hair cut.

“While we can’t go out and do much at the moment, we wanted to reach out to the local community and offer a virtual place for them to learn and chat with others.

“Hairdressing is a very sociable profession, and we certainly miss the interaction with our students and clients.”

Emma said the course is in partnership with the hairdressing supplier Cool Blades.

The college recommends that people register quickly as places are limited to 30 and will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
