Testimonials

"When choosing a hairdressing college in 2006, I chose to attend Avant-Garde because of its large, open and airy space with lots of windows, its clean/friendly atmosphere and its free parking lot! What I got when I went was so much more, the staff was all so knowledgeable
and eager to help you learn and understand why it’s important to master the techniques they were teaching. 

With their help, I was encouraged to compete in the Skills Canada competition, in which I took first place in the province.  They worked closely with me daily, helping me perfect my skills. I then had the opportunity to travel to Halifax, N.S for the national competition - I placed a happy 2nd!
I now work at Elements Hair Design, one of the leading salons in the city and couldn't be happier.  I have continued to be a part of the competition world, most recently placing 1st in 'Men’s trend cut and style' and 2nd in 'Women’s trend cut and style' for 2010.

Avant-Garde gave me the skills and confidence I needed to be successful in this industry; I highly recommend this school to anyone looking to start an incredibly fun career in hairstyling!"
