Well to be honest to become a Hair Stylist of any standard you will need some serious training, most salons and hair studios suffer from a massive influx of hair & beauty school finishers at this time of year therefore it is very unlikely will get a place without any experience or training.
On the other hand if you are serious about training up to become a stylist your first port of call would be a course at one of the many Further Education colleges around mainly because entry requirement levels are rather low.
I would recommend Barnet College, although the entry requirements are very low for Hair & Beauty courses the courses are VERY rigourous and demanding and constantly churns out great results year after year. Upon graduation you will find it ALOT easier to find a job and pastoral care will aid you in finding work upon course completion. Have a look at their website at www.barnet.ac.uk or give them a call on 020 8200 8300 and ask them for further info. Enrollment for September starts soon! If you are 19 or under and a UK/EU citizen the course is free, in the case that you are 19+ and/or a non UK/EU you will need to pay for your course.
Hope that has been of some help.
Best of Luck
