Why Certification Matters in the Hairdressing Industry
Many talented hairdressers learn on the job or train informally but struggle to get formal recognition. Without certification, it becomes difficult to:
- Apply for higher-paying jobs in professional salons
- Start and grow a hairdressing business
- Get access to advanced training in specialized hairdressing techniques
- Build credibility with clients and employers
The ARPL Unemployed Program is an opportunity to bridge this gap. Through this program, Amka Products is offering a structured pathway to certification without requiring hairstylists to start their training from scratch.
