“Returning to school, as a mature student was something I was not prepared for changing careers at my age seemed like a daunting task. After exploring many options it became clear Modern Hairstyling & Esthetics would be the only college that could meet my educational unique needs.

I feel my time spent at Modern Hairstyling & Esthetics has prepared me for an exciting new career.”
Jeff Graham
“I was recommended by a former student to apply to Modern Hairstyling & Esthetics. The staff here opened doors that other colleges would not by providing opportunities based on my desire not just how I looked on paper. The staff recognized my hesitance in the short time-line for the spring entry and encouraged me to reapply when I was ready. The transition to the fall program was where I needed to be. My ducks were finally in a row. Feel free to join me at my graduation next year. This is my time. Thanks to the entire staff at Modern College!”

I was over 50, my marriage had ended, my children had moved out and I had just sold a business that tied me down 24/7 for the past 11 years. Time for a new beginning! I had thought about a new career for a while and wanted something that would stimulate me, give me personal satisfaction, and give me a good paycheque. I needed to go back to school. I looked at the job market in my community and felt that a job in Health Care was my best option. We were getting a new hospital and I knew that there would be jobs available. Where to look? I first looked at Community Colleges. They offered the program but not in my community and it would take two years. Too long, I wanted to get back to work as soon as possible. Then I discovered there were two Career Colleges in town. Both offered what I wanted in less than a year! I checked them both out Modern Hairstyling & Esthetics won hands down. They offered qualified teachers in a completely equipped classroom, hands on training, student placement, and an environment where you were treated with respect. I signed up within a week. That was two years ago. I absolutely love it! It exceeded my expectations. The work is stimulating and exciting, I learn new stuff every day and I love going to work. Having made this career choice, even at my age, was the best thing I ever did. I feel great about what I accomplished and a real sense of fulfillment of having reached my goal. I am making great money and I can support myself comfortably. I wish I had done this at a younger age, my life would have been easier. I am very proud of myself for having done this and my life will be easier now.

“After leaving my job of twenty-years in January 2006, I discovered that it was time to re-evaluate my career and my goals. Even though I had a lot of skills, I discovered very quickly that I was lacking some of the knowledge that employers are now asking for, so I quickly decided to research the schools in the Barrie area. I chose Modern Hairstyling & Esthetics because I liked the curriculum and also because of the professionalism shown by all the staff. My teachers are all very knowledgeable and they are all very passionate about what they teach. Their enthusiasm is somehow contagious. All of the staff has been wonderful and helpful. I have also made many close friends during the few months that I have been here and I know they will remain lifelong friends. I have now almost completed the program and I know I will be ready to take on a challenging position upon completion of the program. Thank you so much for all that you have done for me.”

“I attended the Modern Hairstyling & Esthetics program offered at the Sudbury Campus. Although the program was VERY difficult I found it rewarding and take great pride in my completion of the program. The instructor staff worked very hard to develop a program that not only meets ministry standards but also thoroughly prepares its graduates for the rigors, trials and tribulations of the career I was working towards.”

“As a single mother, one of the hardest decisions of my life was to go back to school. The staff at Modern Hairstyling & Esthetics not only made this easier for me, but they helped me to find funding as well. Thanks to Mona, Barb, Brenda and Yvonne for making the year fly by.”

My decision to return to school after 10 years was one I will never regret. I enrolled at Modern Hairstyling & Esthetics. There, I met the most knowledgeable instructors. Not only were they thorough with all subjects pertaining to my program but they also prepared me for an easy transition into the workforce. I found employment in my field with the week. I cannot stress enough how all staff members at Modern Hairstyling & Esthetics went above and beyond the call of duty to assure all students meet or exceed the ministry standards. I want to thank all of you as you made my learning experience one that I will never forget.
