Don’t Just Take Our Word For It...

See what stylists are saying about the HairDesigner Program

 

"7 weeks into my training and I’m already seeing the results…

I'm loving this program! I'm using the '3 wheels of fashion'  consultation on most of my clients now. It is very enlightening!  My clients love the extra attention and the intentional conversation on how to enhance their face shape.

I am having more fun behind my chair now than ever before, I’ve increased my prices and my clients leave with a bigger smile and a little more bounce in their step."

~ Sara Ameiss

"I just love your personal touch and the way you explain the details...

I've been enjoying a few of your pre-recorded videos and it's already making me aware of so much more behind the chair.

One of the things you mentioned in our class was ​'​the magic happens when you stop​'​. That really helps me evaluate my work and check myself when I'm doing something that's not correct or could be better.​ ​It is a freeing experience as I communicate with each client​ – creating a personalized style with the new found sense of excitement because I'm putting my insecurities aside and letting my love of hairdressing come forward. This is what I've been looking for...to remind me of why I chose this profession.

Your demonstrations and your careful evaluation and patience with each student's abilities in my first virtual class really sealed in my mind how much I could benefit from you and your course."

~ Evelyn Pinto
