The piece shares real‑world examples from hotels and restaurants, plus quick tips you can try on the job today, like greeting guests by name and handling complaints with a calm voice.
How much is an NVQ? – If you’ve ever wondered why NVQ fees differ, this guide breaks it down. It explains the variables that push the price up – like course length and provider reputation – and shows where to look for free or funded options. You’ll walk away with at least three ways to cut the cost.
Can you become a self‑taught hairdresser? – Yes, but there are limits. The article lists the skills you can safely practice at home (basic cuts, simple styling) and points out the parts that still need a classroom – like sanitation standards and advanced color theory. It also gives a short list of free video channels and affordable tool kits.
Is cutting hair hard to learn? – The short answer: no, if you follow a clear plan. We cover the three core steps – preparation, sectioning, and finishing – and warn against common rookie mistakes like over‑compressing hair or using the wrong shear angle. Try the step‑by‑step drills in the article on your next practice session.

Technical Pathways & DIY Tips
Google Certificate – is it worth it for an IT career? – We look at real hiring data and hear from employers who have actually taken candidates with Google certificates.
