Marissa Hunt
Hair and beauty salon’s future is looking good for Marissa
When I started at Derby College I was nearly 30 and I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I was ready to learn. My tutors were very helpful and supportive. They knew I was ambitious and that I wanted to open my own salon and they supported me to achieve my goal. I originally studied at the old Mackworth site but when that closed I moved to the college's new Sensi salon at the Roundhouse, which was very nice.

Hair Angels helps learner Kirstie to grow in confidence
Before I started my work experience through Derby College I wasn't that confident and was shy about speaking to clients. I'm much more confident now than I was in my first year and everyone at Hair Angels has been so supportive and friendly. I'm finding it easier every day. I've really come out of myself.
