CPD Masterclass · VTCT Level 2 Unit UHB204 · 4 Mondays
The perm is back. Be ready to cash in.
From effortless beach waves to the surge in men’s texture, perming is one of the fastest-growing, highest-margin services in salons and barbershops — and very few stylists have the technical confidence to deliver it safely. This regulated masterclass fixes that in four Mondays.
Course at a glance
The four Mondays
- Week 1 — chemistry and precision. The science of structural change, elasticity and porosity testing, chemical selection, clean tension and placement
- Week 2 — the three commercial winds. Standard wind for uniform body, brick wind for seamless blends, directional wind for modern movement and barbering trends
- Week 3 — chemical dynamics + external exam. Neutralising, preventing and fixing fish-hooks and band marks, diffuser styling — then your official VTCT theory exam
- Week 4 — live models and graduation. Practical sign-off under VTCT assessor supervision
Where this leads
A foundation the texture market will pay for.
Salon stylists capture the returning perm clientele; Level 2 qualified barbers master the curls dominating social media. Either way, you graduate with a regulated unit — not a product-brand attendance sheet.
Graduates gain priority access to our upcoming Level 3 Creative Perming unit: spiral winds, piggyback configurations and hopscotch patterns.
- Blended model keeps you earning while you train
- Small cohorts for safe, supervised chemical work
- Progression path to Level 3 creative texture services
- Applies to salon and barbershop columns alike
