Matrix who work in partnership with the Transform Salon at NULC hosted the event to showcase the latest collections from Matrix.  Marcus Shamin, Matrix Global Artistic Director and Peter Usher, Matrix UK Artistic Director presented five different cuts and colours from the brands latest collections.

The Hairdressing Skill Squad also took to the floor to present three looks that they have been working on to promote hairdressing at NULC.

Hairdressers from local salons were also invited to the event, which gave staff and students from the Transform Salon the opportunity to showcase the industry standard facilities and training opportunities available at NULC.

During the event, local employers had the opportunity to be introduced to new apprentices looking for employment opportunities within the Hairdressing industry. These potential apprentices were either new recruits who have being supported by our entry in employment initiative or existing  hairdressing students who have completed their first year on a full-time program and are now looking gain an apprenticeship in order to develop their skills in the workplace.

On the agenda is a business club, where we will work will like minded employers to help develop our provision, to ensure that it exceeds employers expectations.“
