Shaun Unterslak, principal of Unemployed Need Transformation (UNT), a school accredited to teach beauty and Afro hairdressing, has planned a special programme for the unemployed in the area.

Starting early November, it is aimed at unemployed and low-income earners living in and around Randburg including Cosmo City. Unterslak added that many Cosmo City residents asked that the programme to come to the area after it was found to be a success in Olievenhoutbosch.

Graduates can either find employment in salons, rent a chair in existing salons or run their own mobile salons.

“I have trained thousands of unemployed, abused and disadvantaged individuals in townships around Johannesburg. I create an opportunity for them to work for themselves and earn a high income,” Unterslak added. He shared the story of a past student in Soweto, who began earning R4 500 a month only three months after her training and has now started her own salon.

Participants will undergo eight weeks of beauty training, which will include the following skills:

     Manicure and pedicure
     Applying acrylic nails
     Applying gel nails
     Applying artificial single eyelashes
     Apply braiding
     Applying hair extensions.

On completion of the training, all successful students will receive an accredited certificate.

“December is the peak period in the beauty and hair industry and the students will be able to apply artificial acrylic nails and artificial eyelashes on paying customers by then,” said Unterslak.

To enable the training to take place, a minimum of 25 students need to participate in the programme. Those interested can SMS or call Unterslak on 072 517 8937.
