Imagine leaving school and starting your dream career straight away.

No student debt. No sitting in classrooms five days a week. No waiting years before you start doing what you love.

With an RJL Apprenticeship, you'll be working in a real salon, learning from experienced stylists, building your confidence with clients and earning your own money from day one.

Let's be honest...

Hairdressing isn't a job you learn from a textbook.

The best stylists learn by watching, practising and being part of a busy salon environment every day.

As an apprentice you'll:

✔ Learn alongside experienced stylists
✔ Work with real clients
✔ Build confidence faster
✔ Earn money whilst training
✔ Gain an industry-recognised qualification
✔ Start building your future career immediately

While your friends are still deciding what they want to do, you'll already be building experience, earning a wage and developing skills that could stay with you for life.

Many salon owners, educators and industry leaders started their careers as apprentices.

In fact, our CEO Ruby Jo Lomax began her apprenticeship at 16 years old, won Apprentice of the Year in 2009 and went on to open her own salon at just 22.

Now she's creating the same opportunity for the next generation.
