At Divinity & Co Hair Studio, we believe in not just creating beautiful hair — but also in building up the next generation of great stylists. That’s why we’re proud to be a salon that welcomes and mentors apprentices.
But what exactly is a hair apprentice? And what does it mean when you're booked with one? Let’s break it down — and show you why it’s a great thing for you and the industry.
🌱 What is a Hair Apprentice?
A hair apprentice is a licensed trainee stylist who is actively learning under the supervision of experienced professionals. Apprentices are not just “learning how to cut hair” — they’re gaining real salon experience, mastering technique, understanding client care, and honing their creativity.
At Divinity & Co, our apprentices are carefully selected and undergo intensive training before ever offering services to clients. They’re constantly supported by our senior team and only take on services they are 100% confident — and qualified — to perform.
💇♀️ What Services Can an Apprentice Perform?
While every apprentice has a unique training journey, many are able to perform:
Blowouts
Root touch-ups
Toner refreshes
Hair treatments
Basic trims or dry cuts
Colour applications (under supervision)
Each service is reviewed by a lead stylist before and after to ensure top quality. You can always ask what’s included or have a stylist step in to consult.
💸 Apprenticeship Pricing: Why It’s a Win-Win
One of the biggest perks? Reduced pricing. Services with apprentices are offered at a lower cost than with senior stylists — making it a fantastic option for clients who want high-end results at a more budget-friendly rate.
It’s also a great chance to support emerging talent while still enjoying the atmosphere, quality, and product line of a top-tier salon.
🙌 Why Supporting Apprentices Matters
Every stylist you admire — every blonde transformation you scroll past — started as an apprentice.
By booking with an apprentice:
You're helping them build skills and confidence
You're directly contributing to their future
You're part of keeping the hair industry creative, skilled, and thriving
Our apprentices are passionate, driven, and deeply committed to growing in their craft. And with every appointment, they grow stronger — thanks to you.
