Hello everyone, I hope you could help me with my situation now. My husband and I are from China. Recently my husband just came to the UK to stay with me with sponsor visa, and I have got a permanent visa. My husband is a hairdresser in China, and he has 13 years working experience, also he was trained by Vidal Sassoon, he has got Vidal Sassoon ABC course certificate which is recognised worldwide. However he hasn't been trained in the UK and as he just came to the UK, he hasn't got any working experience in the UK. In this case, how can we open a hair salon? What do we need to open one? I heard it has to be holding at least NVQ level 4 in hairdressing to open a salon. Does this mean my husband have to take NVQ exam? How does he can get the certificates? I am qualified beauty therapist and nail technician, I have got ITEC level 2 and 3 in beauty therapist. And soon I will get a certificate of NVQ level 3 in nail technician. I am wondering is it possible if once we opened our nail and beauty salon, and let my husband to do his hairdresser job in our salon as well?
Sorry about my English, I hope this won't confused you. I really need some advice now.
