When you study at MCOHB, you not only study hairdressing, beauty therapy and make-up (on and off-the-job) but you are also encouraged to get involved in activities relating to the hairdressing and beauty industry, such as hair shows, photography shoots, and hair competitions.

Mentored by a successful artistic team, there are significant opportunities for students to showcase their skills.
