Dhúlaigh Celebrates Talent at National Hairdressing Apprenticeship Capstone Event
City of Dublin FET College, Dhúlaigh, proudly congratulates the graduates of its National Hairdressing Apprenticeship (NHA) programme following a spectacular Capstone event held this week at the Sean O’Casey Theatre.
The event celebrated the creativity, skill and talent of the apprentices, who showcased an impressive range of hairstyles modelled in a professional setting. It provided an opportunity for the apprentices to demonstrate the expertise and techniques they have developed throughout the three-year programme.
The event was expertly hosted by stylist and poet Jan Brierton and received generous support from a range of professional hair salons, including Hessions, Gorgeous Hair Salon, Amica Eco Hairdressing and Scaramousse, among many others.
A highlight of the event was the presentation of the Dhúlaigh Hairdressing Apprentice of the Year award to Tegan O’Shaughnessy, who is mentored at Salon Botanica in Swords. The award was presented by Dhúlaigh alumnus and professional hairdresser Philip McDonagh Lambe.
NHA Project Manager at Dhúlaigh, Áine Daly, praised the dedication of the staff and apprentices involved:
“We are so proud of the staff and students involved in the NHA programme at Dhúlaigh’s Kilbarrack campus. The team are so dedicated and organised an amazing Capstone event, which is now in its fourth year. Congratulations to the apprentices who showcased outstanding hairstyles at this wonderful show.
“Thank you to the hairdressing mentor team – Jacqui Faye, Olive O’Brien and Joanne McManus – as well as hairdresser Carole Ann McGuirk, who helped at the event. We wish our newly qualified hairdressers every success in the future.”
City of Dublin FET College, Dhúlaigh, extends its sincere thanks to all the apprentices, staff, mentors, industry partners and supporters who contributed to the success of this wonderful celebration of hairdressing talent and professional achievement.
