Danielle started working at LMC in October 2020, previously working at a residential children's home, caring for young adults. She also worked in a hair salon in Lancaster as a self-employed hairdresser for 6 years where she further developed her passion and skills.

When Danielle saw the Hairdressing lecturer’s job role opportunity arise here at LMC, she thought it was the perfect chance for her to combine her 2 career paths, working with young people and sharing her skills in hairdressing.

I really enjoyed supporting the young people in the residential childrens home but Istill had a passion for hairdressing. I knew I still wanted to work with young people, so when I saw this job advertised, applying was the best decision I ever made!

Danielle is responsible for the Hairdressing Apprentices here at Lancaster & Morecambe College, teaching the Level 2 Diploma for Hairdressing Professionals. The students that are taught by Danielle, are given the hairdressing skills, knowledge and customer service skills they need to progress in their work place and into their future careers.

I enjoy teaching this qualification a lot because all the apprentices show a real passion for the hairdressing industry. They all leave the course with the skills and knowledge to build their own client bases or set up their own businesses within the hair industry. Seeing the learners confidence grow more and more each week is my favourite part of the role.

If you are thinking about studying a hairdressing apprenticeship, Danielle says

By studying on the hairdressing apprenticeship course, you will recieve valuable support and training from us at LMC. You will also gain key industry knowledge and behaviour from your employer. An apprenticeship will set you up for the future, so you can have your dream career.
