College students provide a ‘Salon for the Day’ at Hob Moor Children’s Centre

To highlight national ‘Colleges Week’, Hair & Beauty students from York College transformed a classroom at Hob Moor Children’s Centre into a ‘Salon for the Day’, helping the school community to get together to enjoy free pampering treatments.

Said Rob Cameron, Head of School at Hob Moor Children’s Centre: “The college approached us with the idea of creating a ‘Salon for the Day’ and we felt this was an ideal opportunity for our staff, pupils and parents to get together to enjoy a relaxing atmosphere at the school. The Hair & Beauty students did a fantastic job providing a range of beauty treatments, including manicures, eye brow shaping, massage and make-up application. It was a very enjoyable experience for everyone.”

Said Paul Guilfoyle, Head of Marketing at York College: “At this time of year Colleges Week is celebrated up and down the country. Projects such as this one promote the excellent work that goes on in further education colleges and create an opportunity for students to highlight their skills. At Hob Moor Children’s Centre the college’s Hair & Beauty students were able to showcase their talents and they brought the whole school community together.”
