Kleek Apprenticeships has unveiled its inaugural group of 12 Kleek Ambassadors, selected following a competitive national application and recruitment process to represent regions across England in 2026.
The newly launched Kleek Ambassador Programme is designed to empower Level 2 and Level 3 apprentices, giving them a platform to build confidence, develop fresh marketing and social media skills, and champion the hair and beauty industry.
Delivered over a six-month period, the programme will see Ambassadors represent Kleek and their peers within their regions, sharing their apprenticeship journeys and promoting the value of vocational training. Through monthly content challenges and a collaborative Lookbook project, Kleek Ambassadors will create engaging, real-time insights into life as a hair and beauty apprentice.
Open to both aspiring and experienced content creators, the programme includes dedicated training, mentoring, and networking opportunities, helping participants build new skills and strengthen their personal brand while supporting their salon’s marketing activity.
The programme will culminate in a celebration event at L’Oréal Professional Products HQ in September, recognising the Ambassadors’ achievements and contributions.

- Liam Anderson, Westwood’s Barbershop & Social (Yorkshire & Humberside)
