Kieran's Story

Kieran's Story

From no-one to some one

My name is Kieran I’ve been with TT, who are a salon based in Crawley, Sussex since I was 15 (I am now 18).

Throughout School I was in and out of foster homes and none of my teachers really got me. It was later recognised that I had dyslexia. I wanted to be a carpenter but the local college didn't have a placement so I was stuck with hairdressing. "Great" I thought.

I was put in a salon called TT where they were linked with Cheynes Training.

Within a couple of sessions I was hooked. I asked.... well begged for a job, they agreed for atrial period. Within this I really proved myself. I was taken on full time.

Suddenly I had this feeling that I had never had, I wanted to learn!!! Plus the trainers had the patience to teach me. They were aware that I found it hard to read and concentrate. So the lectures became colourful and interactive.

Within my first year of training I had completed my Barbering units, Reception, Shampooing, Blow Dry, Health and Safety, Consultation and Cutting.

I am now a trainee stylist and I am building my column.

I love hairdressing and thank God there were no places for carpentry!!! Thanks TT and thanks Cheynes Training.
