Member	hairdressing schools
KungPow Raver	10/29/2007 8:07:00 PM What's out there in the Lower Mainland for hairdressing schools. Best? Cheapest? etc?

KungPow Raver	10/30/2007 8:39:00 AM aren't a bunch of you on here hairdressers? Where did you go to school?
statikman Member	11/4/2007 6:03:00 PM Apprentice. Bring me a resume and you will be on the floor in less time and with no student loan. You actually get paid instead. We have 2 salons with a third opening in January and we need apprentices. Statik 2331 Granville If that doesn't appeal to you, then look at Casablancas. Fairly cheap and over in 6 months.
oh_la_la Member	11/23/2007 10:44:00 PM im going to blanche. I start next week. Its $12,600 for the schooling and then $2,050 for the kit. Im also a assistant full time now going to be a part time in a week.

Crosshairs Member	11/25/2007 10:01:00 AM Be careful with Blanche. They have a bad rep. Investigate a few others.
oh_la_la Member	11/25/2007 10:24:00 AM Well from what I have heard they are great.

Hot_AGGiE Member	11/25/2007 12:30:00 PM VCC is where i went. I was also a fulltime assistant before i decided to go to school and get my license, so i had lots of hands on experience to begin with. I am very happy with my schooling. The course was $7000 and the kit approx $1100. The 10 months flew by, and now a year and a half later, im a full time stylist with a growing clientele in a busy salon. When i was assisting, everyone there recomended VCC, and they were not wrong.
desi_dogg Nightlife Industry	11/25/2007 2:46:00 PM ^^ VCC is the best . Few things to keep in mind: 1. You have to attend class from 8-3 2. You have to do theory as well. 3. Final exam (You need to arrange a model for your haircut) But overall VCC is the best college and their price is also the same as other places.
Nicely Member	11/25/2007 3:03:00 PM $12,600 ? I think my UBC degree came to about as much. Is being a hairdresser so lucrative you can justify this cost?
KungPow Raver	11/25/2007 3:07:00 PM thanks guys, VCC sounds like the most reasonable option. I'll see if I can convince my sister to reconsider her first choice (Blanche).
oh_la_la Member	11/25/2007 4:30:00 PM future mac counter girl Im not going to school for make up you tool.
Crosshairs Member	11/26/2007 5:16:00 AM Just speaking as an educator, VCC is a wise choice. From what I have heard from former students, Blanche has no library, no student services, no formal appeals policy, fails to deliver grades in a timely fashion, has no recreational facilities, and is privately owned, without any form of board of directors or accountability. VCC is an established institution with all of these safeguards and facilities in place.
Ainzslay Member	11/26/2007 3:10:00 PM I went to the hair dressing school in on 103 and KG. I just graduated from hair dressing last week. I want to to get my nail tech degree
Assley_ Member	11/26/2007 3:31:00 PM My sister was looking into this as well and concluded that VCC was the best bet.
oh_la_la Member	12/13/2007 12:15:00 AM All I have to say is so far so good for moi!
592yrheuyrowhsfaiufs Member	12/13/2007 1:44:00 AM My hair dresser just told me that it doesn't really matter where you go to school - they teach basically the same techniques at all of them. What really matters is where you get in and get your hands on experience after you've taken the course. That is what sets your background and what employers will look at. It's what you do with your schooling, not where you attend school.
Punjabulous Member	12/13/2007 10:37:00 AM listen girls, those schools are all a sham!!!!!!! forget your dreams of working for movies, and designing couture dresses!!!!!!!! become a nurse, now nursing.......thats a career!
