Whole-class teachingIntroduce the unit aims and objectives. Lead a question-and-answer session to secure understanding of the session and help sort out any concerns.

Paired work (ideally six pairs – one for each industry listed)

Ask pairs to research a chosen industry within the sector in order to produce an informative 5-minute presentation the rest of the class. The presentation should give a heading and include information on:

the industry itself (i.e. the service it provides)

client type (age, gender, wealth, ethnic origin, lifestyle, etc.)

environment in which the industry is practised (e.g. salons, hotels, cruise ships).

This basic research task can also be undertaken as an individual activity or a small group activity (two or three per group), as below.

Individual work Learners research the six industries and produce a description for each that includes the same elements as the presentation above.

Group work Each group researches two industries and produces a poster for future reference, to include the same elements as the presentation above.

1.3 The role and influence of the hair and beauty trade and professional organisations within the UK sector

Ask learners to undertake a research activity to establish the meaning of a number of abbreviations commonly found in the hair and beauty sector. An Internet search will bring up most of information needed. Text books may also be of use.

Guide learners to help them understand how adverts could influence the hair and beauty sector. A spider diagram, which you could model on the board or on OHT, could aid understanding. Place an example advert in middle and surround with who and how it could influence – i.e. advert may spark demand from public for service/product; stock needs to be purchased to supply service; staff may need up-skilling; salon promotion of service/product, etc.

Arrange a group visit to the shopping mall (with cinema complex if possible) and show learners examples of how, and where, the links occur.

Encourage learners to identify links and complete the checklist. This information can then be used as a group discussion activity and to build the group diagram.

If you wish, and if it’s more practical, you could use a ‘virtual’ shopping mall along with magazines and promotional film clips (which can usually be found at the start of DVDs) to identify links.

1.5 Links to related sectors of the hair and beauty industries (1)

You will need to do some advance planning for this activity.

First of all, read through Activity sheets 1.5 and 1.6.

Then make contact with the subject specialists to ensure they fully understand what is required of them, and to arrange a time/date/venue for the talks. You may even like to set up a meeting in advance to run through these things.

The specialists will obviously need copies of Activity sheets 1.5 and 1.6, too, so they can plan their talk to fit in with the longer activity on 1.6. It is important you give them a clear idea of purpose of their talk and ask them to keep it accurate, interesting and straight to the point, with the inclusion of scenarios and reference material/examples/samples, etc. Handouts need to be clear with useful information for learners to refer to for their next activity.

You will also need to arrange with specialists a future visit so that they can watch and comment on the learners’ own presentations.

1.6 Links to related sectors of the hair and beauty industries (2)

Make sure you are familiar with the contents of Activity sheet 1.6 before you hand it out to learners and ask them to complete the tasks. This activity has an allocation of 9 guided learning hours and will take place over three x 3-hour sessions (sessions 6, 7 and 8).

Your learners may need access to PowerPoint or other ICT facilities for their final presentations, so ensure they are available. (A rota for who uses what and when may be useful here.)

Encourage learners to practise prior to delivering their final presentation. Identify any good practice points from the presentations they watched from the specialists and encourage them to consider these in their own presentations. Identify any poor practice points from the presentations they watched and discuss why they were not effective.

You will also need to identify with the subject specialists the key points they will be looking for in learners’ presentations and why. Learners can then use this information when planning their own presentations.

1.7 The meaning and use of basic hair and beauty terminology (1)

Ask learners to use Activity sheet 1.7 to match services to the correct industry heading. (An answer sheet has been prepared for you on page 000.)

This activity can be repeated several times and can also be done as a timed activity or team activity to engage learners.

When learners are confident they know the correct location, these sheets can be kept for future reference.

Tutors/teachers/practitioners may want to make a laminated set of grids and words to put in the gaps to use with different groups of learners and for revision purposes.

1.9 Key consumer and retail legislation: Data Protection Act

Read the complete text to learners before you hand out Activity sheet 1.9. This text then becomes a gap-fill exercise which learners can complete on their own, in pairs, in small groups or even in teams – as you see fit.

Explain, before they undertake the gap-fill exercise, that they do not need to understand all elements of the legislation. That said, they must have a good understanding of why this legislation is important to the hair and beauty sector and what they, as (potential) employees, must do to uphold this.

The gap-fill activity can be repeated as necessary, with less reference to the full text each time the activity is attempted.

1.10 End-of-unit quiz

Divide learners into a number of teams and explain that they are about to complete a quiz containing a series of questions relating to hair and beauty technical terminology.

Assign teams a colour (blue team, red team, etc.) and pick a scribe, who will note down the answer on a sheet of A4 paper. Ask the scribe to write down the left-hand side of the paper the numbers 1 to 20.

Read out the questions from your sheet (and question number) and allow a few seconds for learners to jot down answers. The answers are given in square brackets.

At the end of the quiz, you could ask teams to swap papers and mark.

Activity �.� Answer sheet Economic contribution, size, scope, geography and development of the hair and beauty sectorThis answer sheet is for tutors/teachers/practitioners only. It is a completed version of the text on Activity sheet 1.2.

The gap-fill words appear in bold.

The hair and beauty sector is divided into six separate industries: hairdressing, barbering, African Caribbean, spa therapy, nail services and beauty therapy . Each of these industries provides a range of services.

In 2006 consumers spent £5.25 billion in hairdressing salons and personal grooming establishments. In 2007 the hair and beauty sector employed 245,795 people. This was 0.87 per cent of the total people in work in the UK.

Hair and beauty businesses are found across the UK. England has the highest number of people employed in the sector. The north-west and the south-east of England have a higher amount of hair and beauty businesses. Scotland has a lower proportion of people employed in the sector. Wales and Northern Ireland have the smallest proportion of people working in sector.

The range of self-employed in the sector includes salon-based owners, owner-managers, partners, chair renters in hair salons and barbers, and freelance and mobile workers.

Some 90 per cent of people working in the hair and beauty sector are female, with only 10 per cent male. Of the people who are self-employed workers, almost 15 per cent are men.

Many people aged 16–24 work in the hair and beauty sector. The workforce is mainly from white ethnic groups (93 per cent) and this is much the same as general employment across the UK (91 per cent).

More than half the workforce is made up of employees (57.8 per cent) and the remainder (42.2 per cent) are self-employed. This is three times more than the all-UK workforce of people who are self-employed.

There is a strong influence from the fashion industry for people to look younger. There has been a continued growth in the hair and beauty sector since 1995. There are now more specialised services available such as nail services, spa therapies and men’s grooming. There is also more information, advertising and publicity about complementary and alternative medicine and cosmetic enhancements.
