Our hairdressing courses will prepare you to perform the full range of client services including consultation and advice, hair and scalp treatments, haircutting, hair design, colour, and lightening for both male and female clients.

The job outlook for hairdressers in Australia is very positive. The industry is experiencing a skills shortage across Australia with many employers finding it difficult to find suitable applicants to fill available positions. There are expected to be up to 50,000 new hairdressing jobs available over the next five years with employers looking for qualified workers with good customer service and teamwork skills.

TAFE Queensland offers a range of courses in hairdressing and salon management. You’ll gain valuable customer service, time management, and teamwork skills and experience the basic realities of life in a salon. By the time you graduate you will have worked with real clients in a real-world setting, making you highly competitive and experienced in the job market.
