A few words from out trainer - ANITA

We have had a wonderful first semester in our VET hairdressing class. All the students have hit the ground running. Learning all things basin, blowaves and braiding! Our classroom/workspace is always a happy place to be and all of the students have settled in beautifully. It also warms my heart to see the encouragement they give each other. 

We finished off our term with a fantastic excursion to a local salon supplier ‘Finishing Touch’ as part of our visual merchandising unit. We are so grateful to Amanda and Allan for giving their time to us. It was amazing to see how beautifully presented and appealing the salon stock was displayed. We learnt so much about the retail side of hairdressing and we were able to see first hand what it’s like to arrange, display and maintain merchandise. 

Looking forward to another great semester after the break.
