The College has currently undergone an exciting new development, which has created a fantastic state of the art hairdressing, beauty and spa training facility. The brand new area will host three beauty and complementary therapy training salons, and three hairdressing salons,  plus a state of the art commercial salon called The Lounge. This includes hairdressing, nail bar and full spa facilities, such as steam room, sauna, jacuzzi, monsoon shower, ice facility, tanning area, dry floatation and three therapy treatment rooms.

This facility plays a central role in the training of students, providing a realistic working environment, and the chance to gain experience within this exciting industry.

Students have the option to take part in national competitions, demonstrating their skills and abilities throughout the locality. St Helens College has also been voted the best college for hairdressing within the North West.

If you have the desire, you could run your own salon, work aboard a cruise ship or become a freelance stylist/therapist.
