Kildare and Wicklow Education & Training Board hosted an inspirational career pathway day of education for the second year Hairdressing Apprentices from Naas and Wicklow Hairdressing Academy. Trichologist Michelle Christle from Cheveux Hair & Scalp Clinic in Tullamore attended the Hair Academy and inspired the apprentices when she shared her own Career Pathway and wowed Apprentices with her knowledge around the extremely important study of disease and problems related to hair and scalp. Michelle demonstrated a Scalp Analysis on everyone using a Trichoscope followed by one-to-one consultations.

A lovely lunch was provided by KWETB culinary students from the Talbot collection after which a practical session took place under the guidance of Wella Educator Eryka Reid. The Hairdressing Apprentices got to experience on trend hair lightening techniques demonstrated by Eryka before getting some hands-on experience.
