1960s Apprentice Hairdresser
« on: Tuesday 27 June 17 22:50 BST (UK) »
Would there be a typical age range for an apprentice hairdresser in the 1960's? i.e. 15/16-18 as we would expect today or would it span longer with the qualified titles not be as vast as today's job titles?

16/18 suggests a school leaver whereas people could "go" into hairdressing at any age - in some cases having had a family.

Carole I appreciate that which is why I used the term typical as it is from hairdressers I know a profession that was typically entered into direct from school, however this is for people I know that entered the profession 1980s onwards.

I went into hairdressing straight from school in 1957, it involved a three year apprenticeship paid for by my parents. This involved six months training before we were allowed to even shampoo a client. It also included  specialist colour training in London,  also board work, (making hair pieces and wigs) followed by two years as an improver to obtain my qualifications.

I should have added that that standards varied, not all apprenticeship were were so comprehensive. I was very lucky that my parents went without, so that I could get an apprenticeship at the place I wanted.
