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.

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

Don’t let the salon down the road claim the texture market first.
