Hair Stylist

Learning how to take a customer’s wish and make it come true is at the heart of a hair stylist’s mission. In  4Fanshawe’s Hair Stylist diploma program, students quickly learn the skills they need to provide exceptional service so that their client goes home smiling. Students in the hair stylist courses learn the essentials of the hair stylist profession, with classes in cutting and styling, hair colour and lightening, facials and makeup, and chemical texture services.

Students will be a part of a supportive and nurturing environment where they are encouraged to reach their potential as an emerging stylist. Students also take classes in Introduction to Business Processes and Human Relations for the Salon Business so that they understand how marketing, accounting, and client relations can improve their success.

Graduates are eligible to register with the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development as an apprentice in order to complete on-the-job, in-salon training. Completion of the apprenticeship term qualifies graduates to write the Provincial Certificate of Qualification Exam (C of Q) for their Hairstylist Provincial Licence.
