Hair
Big Hug. Big Love.
In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, the Pro Hair department at the Blanche Macdonald Centre has been basking in the lovely messages and missives from our Hair graduates.
Whether our Graduates are overseas, on the seas (via cruise-liner) or in our very own locales, there has been a tremendous outpouring of heartfelt sentiments and gratitude.
As educators, our reward is knowing that our students and graduates have achieved their career goals and are happy and fulfilled in their new careers.
So what a testament it is for us at the College to learn of our Graduates’ success!

“Since graduating from the Hair Program, I have moved to London England and now work at one of the fastest growing salons in the London & Surrey area. Rush, the company I work for, has 32 salons and is “the salon” to work for. I attended Blanche Macdonald because I had always been told it was the best school to go to. I now work at the best salon in London. I truly believe I would not have had to confidence to even apply to work in the best salons if I had not had the best training!”
- Charlotte Gee, BMC Hair graduate - Rush Salon, London England
“BMC was an amazing experience! I learned everything and more about the hair industry from technique to client satisfaction in a challenging environment that kept me on my toes daily. I chose BMC based on the college's reputation and feel like it was a great step towards my career. BMC is recognizable in the industry and set me up with the theory and techniques required to make in the real hair world. I'd like to thank the instructors; they are the brains and strength behind the success of each and every student.
Thank you for the time spent on ensuring that I successfully completed the program as well as the determination that led me to where I am upon graduation. As of now, I am a stylist at the Colour Room Salon in Delta, BC. Without the training I received at BMC I would not be where I am. I am very grateful and recommend the program to aspiring stylists.
You will cherish the time spent and the people you will meet. In the hub of downtown Vancouver, BMC is at the best location for the industry. Contacts and clients are everywhere and it is all about how you apply yourself. BMC is where it’s at!
Thanks Papa Phil! Much love to all the instructors and admin, without you, hair school would have been a very different experience.”
- Heather Hall, BMC Hair graduate - Colour Room, Delta BC
“Blanche Macdonald's program and instructors gave me the confidence and skills to throw myself into an industry where I am able to be creative and inspiring. The ongoing practical application of skills learned and outside work experience really helped me to cultivate an understanding of the industry. Thanks so much to everyone at Blanche!”
- Emilie E Klaussen - Toni & Guy, BMC Hair graduate
“I chose BMC because it is a well known name in the industry and the program outline dealt with the entire cosmetology industry such as Hair knowledge for salon, fashion, TV and film, Make up and art and technology. BMC gave me opportunities to volunteer at fashion shows as well as work on some photo shoots while I was still in school.
I enjoyed my time there and I'm now a full time stylist and extension technician at a trendy salon.”
- Bonnie Sexsmith – Buker, BMC Hair graduate
“The Pro Hair Design program teaches more than just the basics. Blanche Macdonald's high standards in education and their students, set the footprints to put you and your career in the right direction. I chose Blanche Macdonald because the success students have obtained upon completion in the fashion/film industry; no other hair school in Vancouver offers this. Upon completion I had three jobs offers before I had even started looking for employment. I am presently working at L'Atelier hair salon in Yaletown [in Vancouver] and am also a freelance stylist.”
