Spiral set with a two strand twist


Just the other week i had to complete an assessment which was to complete a spiral set with a twist. 
Spiral setting is as simple as using a curling wand and curling pre-washed hair but it is very effective and if done correctly can create a very good look. Once the hair is curled its time to add the twist in order to create the twist you get two small pieces of hair and twist them in the same direction, then twist the two strand over each other in the opposite direction in order to make sure the the twists stay in.Making sure that as you carry the twist on you add small sections of hair to the twist and remember the direction in which you are twisting the hair. After you have completed the twist simply secure the hair with a hair grip and use some of the loose hair to cover the twists.

I was very impressed with the look that i had created and think that i did very well to say that it was my first time doing a two strand twist. My client was also very happy with the look, and the next time that i saw her, she told me that she really liked it and that all of her friends were asking who had done her hair as it looked very nice. 

The next time a create this look i will try and make the twists look a little bit neater. 
Other than that i wouldn't change anything about this service that i carried out.

A few of the salons that i am considering applying for.

Recently i have been looking at different salons in my local area that i am considering applying for a job at. Living in a small village in Derbyshire is lovely but it only offers one salon 'Scarlet Ribbons' unfortunately i was told last year when applying for a placement that they no longer do them but none the less that doesn't mean that i am not going to apply for a job there at some point.

There are also a lot of other salons in villages and towns just outside of my home village(which makes it easy to travel to and from) that i am considering applying for. Salons in areas such as Alfreton, Somercotes, Leabrooks, Riddings and Jacksdale.



These are a few of the salons in Somercotes. 










 Here are a few of the salons in Alfreton.
