The Ultimate Guide to Building Student Hair & Barbering Kits for College Courses

At CoolBlades, we take barbering and hairdressing education extremely seriously. It’s something we’re passionate about, and at the centre of all our offerings, which is why we work with college owners and course tutors to create college kits suitable for your students and your course requirements at a fair price with top-quality tools.

Why Student Kits Matter

If you’re a college offering hair or beauty courses then you’ll understand how vital it is for college students to be equipped with the right tools, but left to their own devices students will often select the cheapest tools that might not last the whole course, or the wrong equipment that isn’t suitable your teachings. This is where CoolBlades come in, with our well-planned starter kits for students we can ensure your students have top-quality tools they’ll actually need all at low prices.

We have a wide range of pre-built kits on our website that cover all of the essentials, but we’re also able to work with you to fully customise a kit based on your course requirements, so that your students are set up for success. We can even ship directly to your students, meaning you don’t have to find space to store hundreds of kits.

Essential Tools for Every College Kit

We know the standard requirements of most barbering and hairdressing college courses and have plenty of items to suit those needs, with a wide selection of hairdressing scissors, clippers, comb sets, sectioning clips and reliable essentials, we can recommend items for your kit that are sturdy and won’t need replacing but also work for a student budget.

Customising Kits for Your Curriculum

We can tailor your bespoke college kit based on the courses you offer. For example, we can create kits specific for Level 2 vs Level 3 etc. or for specialities like colouring or styling.

This makes it incredibly easy for your students to understand what they need for each part of their qualification and allows you to add or remove items for flexibility and cost control.

Packaging, Presentation & Delivery

As aforementioned, we can deliver college kits directly to your students so you don’t have to store the kits, freeing up more space, or we can deliver to colleges if preferred.

Student kits come in a portable kit bag, allowing students to easily transport their kit. All items will be securely and safely packaged so that they arrive in the best possible condition, so your students are ready to go on day one and are not dealing with low-quality, broken items.

Should any issues arise, we also offer a great aftercare service and will resolve any queries quickly and efficiently.
