Within our Hair School, you’ll find a caring community that values creativity and nurtures confidence. In our classrooms you’ll meet industry insiders and expert professionals who will guide you, mentor you, and set you up for success.

At our professional student salon, Q&A, you’ll clock countless hours of real-world salon experience and cultivate a client base even before you graduate.

Program Overview:

Over twelve life-changing months our Pro Hair Program will transform you into an industry-ready hair professional. Under the mentorship of our award-winning instructors you will gain a broad set of tools and techniques, learn the business inside out and develop the confidence and creativity to become a successful Hair professional.

Our Pro Hair Program goes beyond Cutting and Colouring to immerse you in all aspects of the hair industry. This is a step-by-step journey of the hair world, through Extensions, Perming, Fashion, Editorial, Runway, Photo Shoots, Platform work and much more. 

Ours is the first Hair Program in Canada to integrate the essential skills and applications for Hair for TV and Film, E-marketing, and Art and Technology. This is 360-degree education.

Each level involves a curated mix of theory, workshops, practical work, and real-life experience. You will take part in a series of professional photo shoots to capture your work, which you will use to build an industry-standard portfolio.

We’ll explore the fundamentals of the business, coaching you in client relations, resumé building, networking and retail strategies. In our state-of-the-art professional salon, Q&A, you will develop proven technical ability while building a client base that will follow you throughout your career.

Our progressive curriculum allows you the flexibility and fluidity to move between salon, platform, competition, editorial, runway, television production studio and film set. These are transferable skills that can take your career to the local, national or international level.

The College has also created a customized module within the Pro Hair Full-time program, training students on how to treat and style natural, Afro-textured hair.

There has been an educational gap when it comes to teaching students how to handle the unique needs of natural, textured hair. With this hands-on, specialized curriculum, our students will develop the skills and confidence to work with textured hair cutting, sculpting, styling, including dreadlocks, hot comb use, and wig fitting.

For over 60 years, the Blanche Macdonald Centre has been a space for education, for empowerment, for self-discovery. We have always rooted ourselves in the shared values of love, compassion, and inclusion.

Our walls are home to a diverse community of lifelong learners engaged in the transformative and at times difficult work of self-growth. Through this work, we seek to amplify new and unheard voices. 

To tell unique stories. To educate ourselves and to uplift others. Our history, our culture, our community inspire us to do better, to be better.
