We learned the skills to look at any style and know how to do it. I only really noticed that I had the confidence to do this when I left school and had to do it all on my own.
Each instructor [at Blanche Macdonald] has given me something I’ve taken away and used. If you have a question or need advice, they’re there for you, whatever you need.
I loved that Blanche Macdonald had a Business program built into it, as well as Makeup and Hair for TV and Film; you really get a taste of everything. I wanted to come out of school feeling prepared.
Blanche Macdonald came up and had by far the most recognition and best reputation out of all the hair schools I looked at. When I came to Vancouver to check it out, I knew it was for me.
For me, the program was absolutely a necessity. The client relations aspect of the program was huge. Figuring out how to get someone to trust you and feel comfortable with you as a student makes it so much easier to have people trust you when you’re a professional!
The connections I made at Blanche Macdonald continue to inspire my career. I cannot express how wonderful the admissions team, instructors, and career department are.
Work Experience was a big eye-opener for me. It gave me a sneak peek into the real salon environment.
Once I started researching, it was clear that Blanche Macdonald had the best reviews.
