You can either train as a hairdresser full-time or part-time at a college, or work as a trainee, learning on the job and attending college on day-release. Whichever option you choose, you can complete the following NVQs/SVQs:
* NVQ/SVQ levels 1, 2 and 3 in Hairdressing
* NVQs/SVQs levels 2 and 3 in Barbering.
NVQ/SVQ Level 1 covers the basic introductory skills needed for working as an assistant hairdresser. NVQ/SVQ Level 2 includes the essential skills needed as a hairdresser. NVQ/SVQ Level 3 covers skills needed for more senior roles.
Visit the Hairdressing and Beauty Industry Authority (HABIA) website (in Further Information below) for information on qualifications and career paths in the hairdressing industry. HABIA do not provide courses and are not able to supply lists of course providers.
You may be able to get into this job through an Apprenticeship scheme. The range of Apprenticeships available in your area will depend on the local jobs market and the types of skills employers need from their workers.

I did a quick search and according to this link, there's a course that only takes three days. Good luck - I hope you make a success of this.
