Meet Emma Who Realised Her Dream to Become a Hairdresser

A creative streak and a long-time ambition to become a hairdresser prompted Emma Fairbank-Taylor to realise her dream here at Middlesbrough College.

The 37-year-old mum of three is well on her way to becoming a professional hairdresser thanks to the College’s Retrain courses. Emma, who is mum to two teenagers and an eight-year-old, embarked on a Level 2 Retrain to Hairdressing course last year, and has excelled ever since.

She’s now studying towards a Level 3 qualification which will equip her with all the skills needed to become a professional stylist. Alongside her studies Emma is providing mobile hairdressing to private clients, and her long-term ambition is to open her own salon.
