Trainings back, new & improved!
Derry from Training Solutions Group talks online education and blended learning.
As we travel along the road map out of lock down it is the perfect opportunity to think about how you can remotivate yourself or your team and update your skills to future proof your business. As an educator, salon owner and working stylist, I can hand on heart confirm that education is a key factor of success and essential to futureproof myself, my business and my teams in the new landscape of the hair and beauty sector. As the saying goes ‘do what you always did, get what you always got’. Now is the time for action. Update your skills, learn something new or plan a complete career change.
Over the last 18 months, the way in which we access and deliver education has significantly changed (for the better). Education is more accessible and above all, having wider access to education will ultimately raise the standard of sector. Training Solutions has built a strong reputation over the last 21 years as being an industry leader of face-to-face, short course education. Under the recent circumstances, we have quickly evolved to launch a range of Online and Blended learning courses. In addition to our face-to-face options, you can train and access education in a range of different ways.
First of all lets break the jargon!
Face to Face courses
This refers to our traditional fully delivered face to face education
Online learning
This is fully online, you will receive access to our bespoke and purpose made learning portal. For the theory elements, this contains all the information you’ll need including video tutorials to refer back to after the training. In addition to this, you will attend a LIVE online group training course with one of our expert education team.
Blended learning
You get the best of both worlds, access to all of the online portal materials, along with the video tutorials after the course. You also have the opportunity to attend the live practical elements face-to-face at a one of Capital Hair Beauty training venues.
We also have our Insight Sessions, these are bite sized look and learn sessions delivered online. Watch this space for insight sessions on subjects such as; introductions to NXT, trend focused cutting, lash techniques and nail art, to name a few.
What does a Blended learning experience look like with Training Solutions & Capital Hair and Beauty
· Upon booking your course you will receive a welcome email outlining what to expect and your next steps (usually within 2 days of booking)
· You will receive access to our online learning portal, where you will complete your pre-course learning, this is usually broken down in to the following modules:
o Introduction/ Overview
o Essential Knowledge and review for Hair or Beauty
o Course specific learning
o Check learning segments.
· Within the welcome email there will be a list of practical dates for you to choose from. You’ll need to select one and email us back with the date and location you prefer. You have 12 weeks to complete your live training.
·Don’t forget to check you have all the ‘Essential Kit’ items from the kit list, your PPE and any skin/ allergy tests completed.
·You will receive reminder emails counting you down to your face-to-face session. The session will be run under COVID secure procedures.
·After successfully completing the course, you will receive your unique certification code and be able to obtain your digital certificate straight away from within the learning portal.
·You will have 1 year’s access from registration to the all of the online learning materials for this course, including any updates we make. Therefore you will be able to refer back to this to refresh your memory at any time.
As always, we have a team of fully qualified and experienced hair and beauty professionals based in our offices. In addition to this, our amazing education team is also on hand to give you ongoing technical support by telephone or email.
The blended learning options are a brilliant way to build confidence, learn a new skill or develop more advanced techniques. You will never have the feeling of arriving at a course and not understanding the background of the subject you are about to study, as the pre course learning really does set the scene for you. This means more time to focus on the ‘doing’ of the service or treatment with one of our expert educators. All educators will happily answer any questions you have on the pre learning as well as recapping on elements in relation to the practical skills.

Chantelle: Capital & Me, my self-employed journey & the importance of networking
Introducing Chantelle, a talented beautician, hair extension specialist and proud owner of ‘Chantelle’s Beautique’. We sit down with Chantelle as she tells us how she started out in the industry, her top tips for becoming self-employed, struggles she faced and overcame along the way and her favourite products that she can’t live without!
My treatment room is based in my garden at home and I offer a full range of Hair and Beauty treatments specialising in skin care, brows & hair extensions. My clients love my set up and really appreciate the little touches like being able to park with ease and having more of a cosy experience away from the hustle and bustle of a busy salon. As well as running my own business at home, I also enjoy teaching others on their journey starting out in the trade with my own accredited courses at home as another branch of my business called ‘The Hair and Beauty Training Beautique’. You may also see me in your local Capital Hair & Beauty as I also tutor for one of their training providers ‘Face Forward’ offering brow lamination and lash lift and tint courses.
Meet Sophie, owner of ‘Sophie’s Lashes & Beauty’ which she has been running now for over 7 years!
Sophie gained a wealth of experience working in the industry from her background working in prestigious 5 hotel & spa and salon settings which lead her up to starting a business of her own. We talk about all things beauty and the curved tweezers that she can’t live without!
Hi Sophie, tell us a little bit about your journey and how you go into the industry and what lead up to starting out on your own?
I gained a lot of knowledge from working in different settings from working with a big teams in a 5 star hotels and spas to smaller beauty salon environments. I gained so much knowledge from working in both settings and although it was hard work and long hours.
I started out by working in a few different 5 star hotels with spas and a salons where I gained all my knowledges and experiences from each one to put together for my own business! It was hard work and long hours all the practice paid off. It was actually one of my clients I saw regularly in the salon I worked at that said I should set up on my own and gave me the confidence to go self-employed and I’ve not looked back since!
K18 Biomimetic Hair Science vs. Bond Builders
As professionals in the hairdressing industry, we're well aware of the constant innovation occurring in our field. Our clients love to dramatically alter their look with the ever-changing trends and we do everything we can to prioritise the health of their hair. Bond-building treatments have long been a staple in salons to address this need. However, allow us to present the latest advancement: biomimetic hair science and K18!
Understanding the Future of Haircare: From Bond Builders to Biomimetic Hair Science
For centuries, the haircare industry relied on cosmetic chemistry to conceal damage. Historical solutions like oils and conditioners were designed to sit on the surface of the hair, providing a temporary fix by improving its appearance and manageability. However, these solutions fell short of addressing hair's health at its core.
K18 & Your Salon Services - How to incorporate K18 Services for Ultimate Hair Restoration
Learn how to leverage K18 products in your salon services to reverse damage, fortify hair and enhance salon results all whilst boosting your salon profits. Discover our step-by-step instructions for every treatment, from lightening to styling in our handy salon go-to guide!
What is K18 and how does it work?
Following the natural structure of hair, the biologically active peptide is considered natural. Unlike traditional bonding agents, it is not rinsed away by water or shampoo, making K18 a genuine and enduring remedy for damaged hair. Healthy hair originates in the salon, and K18 believes its influence starts at the salon chair and radiates outward. While K18 is suitable for all hair types and services, the most significant improvements are seen in damaged hair.
From Money Worries to Family Drama: What's Stressing Your Skin & Hair the Most?
Have you ever noticed how closely linked your mind and body are? It's like they're always communicating, even when we're not tuned in.
And when stress creeps in, it's not just your mind that feels the burden – your skin and hair can take a hit too. Stress, whether it's a short-term or a long-term problem, can be detrimental to your body's health.
In fact, a recent survey by the UK’s largest independent supplier to hair and beauty professionals, Capital Hair and Beauty, revealed nearly half (42%) of the nation believe that stress has had a negative impact on their skin and hair health!
Last year, Brits faced their fair share of hair and skin woes.Topping the list was the recurring issue of dry skin, affecting a significant 29% of the population. Not too far behind was hair thinning/loss, troubling over a fifth (22%) of us, while acne and breakouts are also a cause for concern, affecting 19% of survey respondents. And let's not forget about skin inflammation (12%) and eczema (11%).
Something Old - Something New
Does the bob ever go out of style? Short answer: No. The reason for the evergreen appeal of the bob is because, depending on the length, it’s a look that can suit any face shape or hair texture. Right now, it can be anything from a short and swingy French girl bob, a luxurious long bob, or a razor-cut curly bob. For Tori Kiff, it’s about keeping things fresh with the addition of a fringe.
“I love updating a classic curly bob with a fringe, especially as so many of my curly clients seem to think it’s a style they shouldn’t have. I’ve managed to show so many clients that it’s all down to fear and that actually, a curly bob is so flattering and easy to style; I advise them to use their fingers to curl their fringes or to use a brush when styling,” shares Tori.
Of course, the most modern way to wear a bob is the Bixie, a hybrid of the bob and pixie; think classic bob updated with a fringe or micro bangs, or you could play with the Butterfly Bob. RUSH Creative Director Andy Heasman’s a fan.
