On Friday 27 March, a group of Year 11 pupils from Excel
Academy took part in a Beauty taster at Newcastle-under-Lyme College (NULC).
The session was ran by NULC Beauty lecturer Gabrielle
Whittaker and her BTEC Level 3 students in the college’s Transform Hair &
Beauty salon.
The aim of the visit was to give pupils an insight into the
college’s Beauty and Make-up Artistry courses and give the students an
opportunity to have a go for themselves. The theme was festival style make-up,
looking at popular designs from famous festivals such as Glastonbury and V
festival.
NULC Beauty students were on hand to give a masterclass in
make-up application and assisted the students in their own designs. The pupils were
then allowed to design their own flower images before having their own design
applied to their faces.
Excel Academy Performing Arts teacher Mrs Harvey was
delighted with the taster session, commenting ‘All the girls performing the
make-up on the students were polite and very friendly. They had obviously
planned before we came, which was lovely’.
As part of the taster session, the pupils were taught about
how to welcome a client into the salon, the importance of customer service and
how to speak to clients during a treatment. Many of the pupils enjoyed learning
about how important being friendly and polite was.
Danielle Hughes commented on the session ‘The students were
really polite, I really enjoyed coming and would love to come again’.
Elizabeth Rogers felt the NULC students were great,
commenting ‘Easy going and polite’ which is something that is vitally important
for the course.
