Who We Are at Modern College for Hairstyling and Esthetics
For over 70 years, Modern College of Hairstyling and Esthetics has been a cornerstone educational provider in Ontario. Founded as a family-owned and operated institution, our roots run deep in the beauty industry, and our culture reflects this legacy. From our earliest days under the leadership of Henry and Katherine Gauthier to today’s dynamic and innovative approach under Sarah Lippa, our Modern College Regional Coordinator, we have remained committed to excellence in education, mentorship, and community impact.
At Modern College of Hairstyling and Esthetics , we are more than just a school—we are a tight-knit, supportive family.

Whether sharing skills in the classroom, collaborating on creative projects, or celebrating student successes, we believe in learning through connection.
Our commitment to community outreach has been unwavering throughout the years. From offering hairstyling and makeup services to local women’s shelters and Indigenous Friendship Centres to supporting cancer patients through wig care programs, we believe in giving back through our craft. Most recently, we launched a program providing free wash, cut, and blowdry vouchers to crisis centers and shelters in Sudbury, Barrie, and North Bay—continuing our tradition of using beauty to uplift and support those in need.
