Hairdressing

The [VIU] hairdressing program is an excellent course. I found it to be a year full of challenges and learning experiences I will always remember. The instructors are excellent, they not only train and teach you the trade, they give you the recipe for success; patience, respect, integrity, dedication and ethics. They motivated us to stretch ourselves and to give our very best. We were taught people skills and team work. When we finished our year course I felt prepared and ready to enter the hairdressing profession. Each of the instructors, love and dedication to this program has helped myself and many other students to achieve their goals and dreams to become hairstylists. I graduated then I worked at Scizzorhandz, then from there I went to Regis as the manager.
