Program details

Overview

Students build knowledge and skills across hairstyling practice, covering cutting techniques, styling, chemical treatment services, and hair additions, alongside preparation for career entry and business operations. The accelerated structure lets students finish the diploma on a fast-tracked schedule rather than the standard pace. Instruction comes from a faculty of experienced professionals, many of them graduates of the program themselves, who keep refreshing their own skills to reflect current hairstyling techniques and trends.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent, including Grade 12 English at the C, U or E level and Grade 11 Math. English-language proficiency follows the institution's requirement for certificate, diploma and advanced-diploma programmes: IELTS Academic overall 6.0 with no band below 5.5, TOEFL iBT 78, PTE Academic 55, or Duolingo English Test 110 overall with no sub-score below 85; domestic applicants meet it through the Grade 12 English prerequisite. International students must obtain a Co-op Work Permit with the proper remarks before beginning their placement components. Applicants missing the academic prerequisites may enrol in the college's Career/College Prep programme, free for Ontario residents 18 or older, and those with transcripts from outside Canada are directed to the college's transcript-evaluation process.
