The Salon: Hair and Beauty at

Ely College and Bishop Laney Sixth Form

A Professional Hair and Beauty Salon

Bishop Laney Sixth Form is proud to announce a new addition to the range of experiences and services that we can provide to our young people and the community around us.

The opening of our rejuvenated training facilities and launch of a commercial salon for Hair and Beauty will provide students with an opportunity to receive expert training in a professional environment, supported by fully qualified and experienced staff.

The Salon is now a fully functioning hair and beauty boutique; this fantastic training facility based in the Bishop Laney Skills Centre at Ely College is a realistic working environment where our students develop their skills on paying clients. We are always looking for clients and many who return to us again and again due to the amazing service our students can offer the community.

Although the services are provided by our students, they are all monitored by trained professionals, ensuring the service clients receive is of the highest standard. To encourage the public to make use of the services, costs are discounted, however, our aim is to provide you with the kind of relaxing and enjoyable experience you would expect from any high street salon.

The hairdressing and beauty therapy salon is well equipped and maintained to a high standard. Due to being run by students, The Salon is open during term time only, Monday to Friday. Opening hours are subject to availability so booking in advance will be essential. All welcome; we look forward to seeing you at The Salon soon.

PLEASE NOTE: You will be in the capable hands of student trainees who will have varying levels of experience. Our students are fully supervised by our expert educators at every step but if, in the unlikely situation, you are not 100% happy with the level of service, please ask to speak to the tutor.

Please allow up to three hours for your cut and finish and up to four hours for your colour and finish. More time may be required depending on length of hair and service.

Now working in partnership with Eve Taylor London and Matrix Professional Hair and Colour
