Welcome to the bvillage Salon

Are you interested in a career as a Salon Director, Make-up Artist or Beauty Therapist then you've come to the right place. In the Bridgend College bvillage Salon you can find out information on courses in Hair, Beauty & Holistic Therapy and chat to other people who you may be studying with in September.

The department of Hair, Beauty & Holistic Therapy is one of the most successful vocational areas at Bridgend College. Offering a wide range of full and part-time courses, the department receives hundreds of course applications each year. Many students complete a number of courses within the Hair, Beauty & Holistic Therapy Department and often return to the College to update skills as industry standards develop.

Students undertaking Beauty Therapy programmes enjoy hands on experience in Intuition - the College's training salon, from staff who are highly qualified and active practitioners in their field of expertise.  This ensures that the training provided is up to date and relevant.

Within Intutition Salon, students provide treatments to members of the public such as hair treatments using L'Oreal products, and epilation, electrolysis, body massages, facials and nail treatments using Dermalogica products. Students also benefit from work experience placements with local hairdressers and beauty salons, and this often leads to part-time or full-time employment.

Past students have gained prestigious roles with health clubs such as Ragdale Hall in Leicestershire and with Steiner who recruit Hairdressers and Beauty professionals to work in their beauty spas and salons on board over 116 luxury cruise liners.
