Why study a full-time Hairdressing, Beauty Therapy or Barbering course with HOET?

What makes us different is the commercial nature of our training academies: when you join one of our courses, you will be working on actual paying clients within the academy salon. That’s right – no blockheads and no dummies…real people! This empowers you to develop customer service skills as well as experience on the salon floor. Our beauty rooms are well-equipped and we are very proud to stock and use Wella products in our academy salons.

Where can you study a HOET hairdressing or beauty therapy course?

We run four academies where we deliver hairdressing and beauty therapy courses: Birmingham, Coventry, Leicester and Rugby. You can also study barbering in Rugby and Coventry. We work with some of the top local salons to provide excellent Work Experience opportunities.
