“I am the owner of a small yet busy beauty salon. We were approached by a Hair Art Academy student who needed one day’s work experience. We complied, and to our surprise we were so impressed we hired her the very next morning. Since then we have hired two more Hair Art Academy graduates.
I have been immensely impressed by their talents, hard work and professionalism. I believe they have received exceptional training, as it shows in their work. I will continue to approach Hair Art Academy when looking for new employees.”
Cheri Morton, Michaud’s Hair Studio, Cloverdale, B.C.
