Deep Conditioning
Our deep conditioning treatment is a procedure in which your hair is coated and treated with nourishing products.
This will restore your hair’s moisture, strengthens it and reduces any damage caused by chemicals.
Eyebrow Waxing & Shaping
Eyebrow waxing and shaping removes unwanted hair, enhances your face shape, and creates a clean, polished look.
Whether you love a bold arch or a soft curve, we will ensure you have a flawless result every time.
Gel Manicure
A gel manicure involves applying a special gel-based polish that is cured under a UV or LED lamp to harden and set the colour.
It provides a glossy, chip-resistant finish that typically lasts up to two to three weeks without fading or peeling.
Massage Treatments
Choose from a targeted Back Massage for quick tension release, a Full Body Massage for overall relaxation or a Full Body Massage with G5 Machine for deeper muscle stimulation and cellulite reduction.

It’s great working with real clients because we get to experience what it will actually be like working within a proper salon, and we can work on our customer service alongside the technical skills we’re learning.
I’m really looking forward to the future, I’d love to start my own business and be able to work for myself one day.”

Salon Disclaimer
At East Kent Colleges Group, we are committed to providing a welcoming and positive experience for all our salon clients.
Our salons, located across our campuses in Ashford, Broadstairs, Canterbury, Dover, Folkestone, and Sheppey, offer a unique environment where our hair and beauty students gain valuable hands-on experience by delivering treatments to members of the public. These services are carried out under the close guidance of qualified industry professionals.
While we strive to maintain high standards of service, we kindly remind you that these are training salons. As such, we ask for your understanding and support in the following:
Services are provided by students in training and may not replicate the experience of an established commercial salon.
Appointments may occasionally need to be rescheduled or cancelled at short notice due to training requirements or unforeseen circumstances.
Treatment times may take longer than in commercial salons, as students are developing their skills under supervision.
Results may not always fully meet your expectations; however, we will do our best to address any concerns at the time or offer a follow-up appointment where appropriate.
At EKC Group, we also value freedom of opinion and speech. However, to ensure a respectful and inclusive environment for all clients, students, and staff, we kindly ask that all language used in the salon remains courteous and appropriate at all times.
Your support is vital in helping our students build their confidence, refine their techniques, and succeed in their future careers. Thank you for being a part of their learning journey.
We’re part of six community-based colleges
Our mission is to play a leading role for East Kent in developing the economic and social prosperity of the diverse communities we serve.
