Today I went to Koko hAir salon at Cornwall college St Austell for the first time.... As hair and beauty at Gloucetershire college is my background, it was like a blast from my past. I had my hair cut and blow dried by Jo, lovely level three learner and we included a fabulous Moroccan oil treatment. I just have to say what a wonderful experience it was. All the staff and learners we're welcoming, friendly and professional and I was completely delighted with my hair service. Jo was knowledgeable, caring and the customer service and indeed final result was second to none. I saw some absolutely amazing work completed by these learners who were supported and encouraged by the staff. Thank you to staff and learners for a wonderful experience....never fear I will be returning. Outstanding service and I love my hair ! 😊 Kim Francis Former salon manager...
Read moreTerrible. Music dept was completely forgotten about while the rest of the college recieved new computers, equipment, etc. We were left with broken computers and instruments, leads and mics that would electrocute us, chairs that were falling apart and the tech dept would steal our personal belongings!

The college tried to cancel our course at the beginning of our second year and is now failing to provide our BTEC results required for University.
Complete mess of a place, I regret ever wasting...

I wish the young lady every success when she is fully qualified. She will be an asset...
