What Makes Us Different? Safe, Secure & Student-Focused

At Yeovil College, we are always looking for innovative ways to enhance our learners’ employability and prepare them for the evolving demands of the hair, beauty, and media makeup industries. Recognising the growing importance of digital marketing and professional online presence, we were excited to introduce Stylebook Education—a groundbreaking platform that allows our students to showcase their work directly to employers and clients.

Since launching Stylebook at the end of February, we have already seen a significant impact. One of our Media makeup learners won Beauty Profile of the Month, and a media makeup student secured volunteer makeup work—in just a few weeks! This demonstrates how Stylebook is bridging the gap between education and employment, providing learners with real-world opportunities while still in college.

Another appeal to Stylebook is its connection to educators, we are excited to explore the ‘Wings of elegance’ for our media makeup learners and how we can introduce some further training and enhancement to their curriculum.

What sets Stylebook apart is its user-friendly design and industry relevance. Employers can easily view student portfolios, making talent more visible than ever before. The platform also encourages learners to develop their digital identity in a professional and safe manner, an essential skill in today’s competitive job market.

A key part of Stylebook’s success at Yeovil College has been the outstanding support from Sarah, who worked closely with us to tailor the platform to meet our safeguarding and IT requirements. Her commitment to ensuring a seamless and secure setup has made a huge difference in how effectively our learners engage with the platform.

We believe Stylebook Education is a true innovation in education and employability, empowering learners with cutting-edge digital tools that connect them with real industry opportunities. For any college looking to future-proof their learners’ careers, Stylebook is an essential investment. We wholeheartedly support its recognition for the Innovation Awards.

Thanks so much

Stylebook Education has honestly changed everything for me.

Before, I didn’t really know how to show my work properly, and I didn’t feel confident posting online. But Stylebook Education taught me how to build a professional profile, what kind of images to upload, and how to write a proper bio that actually gets noticed.

Now, I’ve got over 2,000 views on my profile and real feedback from people in the industry. I’ve even had a couple of salons reach out! It’s crazy to think how far I’ve come just from learning how to present myself properly.

The platform’s super easy to use and feels safe, which is so important. We were shown how to stay professional, avoid risky content, and keep our profiles career-focused not just like social media. That part really stuck with me.

One of the best bits is being able to scroll through the ‘Learners’ and ‘Establishments’ sections. You get so much inspiration from seeing other people’s work and progress. It feels like a real creative community, not just a college task.

Stylebook doesn’t just help you look professional, it actually teaches you how to be. And that’s what makes it so different.

If you’re in college and want to get noticed or just build your confidence, honestly, this is the place to start. It’s not just about getting likes, it’s about learning how to build your future.

I highly recommend Stylebook Education for their outstanding professionalism and seamless approach to educational placements. As Grandmaster Barber MK, with 25 years of teaching experience, I’ve worked with many organizations, but Stylebook Education stands out. Their communication, efficiency, and attention to detail in handling bookings are truly second to none. Every aspect—from knowing where I needed to be to understanding my role—was effortless.

This collaboration has been a game-changer for my teaching profile, and I’m excited about the future. Looking forward to many more opportunities together!

Stylebook Education has taught me so much more than just how to post my work online it’s shown me how to build a professional portfolio and present myself in a way that reflects my future career. It’s helped me understand the difference between using social media socially and using it professionally, which is something I’d never really thought about before.

Winning Profile of the Month gave me such a confidence boost and showed me that the effort I put into my work really matters. It’s motivated me to keep pushing myself and to take my learning seriously.

The platform has also made me feel more comfortable and confident sharing my work, because I know it’s going somewhere that’s actually linked to real opportunities in the industry. I’ve learned how to stay safe online, how to promote myself in a professional way, and how to build a positive digital presence that could help me connect with employers, clients, or even colleges in the future.

Stylebook Education is helping me grow, not just as a makeup artist, but as a young professional.

Fantastic buzz today in our salons at Belfast Metropolitan College, our Level 2 Traineeship students attended a training day with Sarah Yorke using her amazing Stylebook Education platform as part of their week 1 induction.

Sarahs passion for the industry was certainly spread today, inspiring students to promote their work in a safe way across the UK industry.

Delighted to be the first college in Northern Ireland enhancing our students skills using such a fantastic digital platform.

What an incredible day! Today, we welcomed Sarah Yorke from Stylebook Education at both our Harpurhey and Wythenshawe campuses to help our Level 2 hairdressers in training to create their digital profiles for the academic year. These profiles will greatly enhance their chances of securing work placements and boost their job prospects.

Stay tuned for our college link, showcasing the high standard of skills, knowledge, and behaviours from our client sessions. Whether you’re a potential client, a salon seeking a placement, or an employer looking for talent, you’ll be able to browse our college profile and connect with our amazing students!

Stylebook Education has honestly boosted my confidence so much especially when it comes to learning how to promote myself professionally online.”

From day one, Stylebook Education showed me how to create a professional profile, upload my work, and understand things like imagery, bios, SEO, and even what employers actually look for.

Sarah has been amazing throughout. She helped me get set up on the platform, guided me through how to use social media in a smart, safe, and professional way, and always made time to answer any questions I had. She doesn’t just drop a course on you she really supports you through it.

Since starting, my confidence has gone way up, and I’ve even progressed onto the Stylebook Directory now that I’m a qualified stylist. Knowing that my work is out there and can be seen by real clients and employers has completely changed how I view my career.

What makes Stylebook so different is that it’s not just about getting your name out there it actually teaches you the skills to build a career. The digital side of our industry is huge now, and Stylebook makes sure you’re ready for it.

Honestly, I’d 100% recommend it to anyone in college or just starting out. It’s not just a platform it’s a proper stepping stone to the real world.

Thanks so much Sarah and Stylebook.

Sarah Yorke it was a pleasure. WLC students are now fully engaged in their journey with Stylebook Education. I can already feel the competition of profile views with students.

I am so greatful as an educator that you have created this platform to support and grow learner confidence, awareness and opportunites for their future hairdresing careers.

As a salon owner, Stylebook Education has been a game-changer for both recruitment and staff development. Using the platform, I’ve successfully found stylist to interview to join my team, making the hiring process so much easier.

Recently, my team and I attended Andrew Barton’s cutting course through Stylebook Education, and it was an incredible experience. and affordable. The convenience of having such high-caliber education brought closer to us was invaluable. Normally, attending a course like this would mean at least two days out of the salon, plus travel and accommodation costs. Stylebook’s approach saved us time, money, and reduced our carbon footprint—making it a much more sustainable option for those in remote areas who would otherwise have to travel hundreds of miles. Being able to offer these experiences to my team members means alot and I really appreciate the support of Stylebook education in times where its harder than ever keeping my salon afloat and retaining motivated employees.

It’s so refreshing to see industry experts coming to us rather than always having to go to them. I’ll definitely be booking onto the next course Stylebook holds!

We’re thrilled to welcome Stylebook Education to Yeovil College!

Sarah Yorke has joined us the past two days and shared her story’s and how she built her business. This incredible platform is here to help our learners in the hair and beauty industries build essential digital marketing skills—a vital tool for success in today’s world.

From showcasing talent to growing a personal brand, mastering digital marketing is key to standing out in the industry. With Stylebook Education, our learners are empowered to reach their full potential and take their first steps toward successful careers.
