Start here and learn the technical and creative skills you need to become a junior hairdresser.

Express your personal style as you learn basic techniques of cutting and styling hair. Get familiar with a range of colour treatments including applying and removing hair colouring products. This qualification will also help you develop the skills you need to work at the front desk in a salon.

When you graduate, you will be ready to get a job as a junior hairdresser. Or, you can further develop your hairdressing skills with our Level 4 programme.

MIT is becoming Te Pukenga

Vocational education in Aotearoa is changing to better meet the needs of learners like you.

As part of this transformational change, MIT will next year become fully part of Te Pukenga, a national network delivering skills training in a wide range of locations throughout Aotearoa. This means that while you’re applying with MIT now, from Semester 1, 2023 when you enrol you’ll become a Te Pukenga learner.

The new system has the success and wellbeing of learners at its heart, and a review of all programmes is currently underway to help support this, including the programme that you’ve enrolled with. The aim is to make qualifications more portable, consistent and closely aligned with the needs of industry, and more in tune with where the world is headed.

As the programme review is ongoing, the courses outlined may be liable to change over time. Rest assured that we’ll notify you of any material changes to delivery that might impact what you’re studying, where you’re studying or the ways you’re learning.
