Success for Andrina McManus

01 Jun 2013

The Academy Hair & Beauty Training School works hard to support its students to achieve an end goal of employment and is delighted that students have continued to reach great heights in their careers after completing their training. This is particularly true of Hairdressing student Andrina McManus who has just announced her success in securing a position with Steiner Cruise Ships! Steiner has operated spas onboard luxury cruise ships for over 40 years and to date has offered over 50,000 jobs to beauty, spa and fitness professionals.

Andrina began her training three years ago in The Academy Hair & Beauty Training School, starting at Level 1 and progressing to her Level 2 NVQ in Hairdressing. Eager to build her career, Andrina identified a new position with Steiner and submitted an online application, followed be an intense, day long interview in Cork, Ireland. During the interview Andrina had to present a speech about herself, followed by a demonstration of her skills in Cutting, Curly blow-dries and Upstyling. Andrina's skills clearly impressed the interview panel as she was offered a position as Hairdressing Stylist within the company and started on 15th June 2013. Her new position has begun in England at an intensive training and induction session, along with new recruits from all over the world, before progressing to a cruise liner in either the Mediterranean or Caribbean. Her first taste of the world of cruise liners will involve a nine month period at sea where she will be responsible for delivering Upstyling and Formal Hair styles to guests. Andrina will also add another skill to her CV following training in Teeth Whitening, which she will also offer to guests, as well as being responsible for Retail Sales in the salon.

Speaking to Hot Gossip Andrina stated that "I am indebted to the training I received in The Academy Hair & Beauty Training School and in my placement at Hair Traffic. It is this solid foundation of good training and experience that has helped me secure this new role. I am excited about my future career".

The Academy Hair & Beauty Training School is delighted for Andrina and proud of her success. We wish her the best of luck in her career and look forward to hearing about her future success.
