I had high-hopes for attending Blanche Macdonald as in general their reputation is positive, and I’ve seen some incredible work from students, past and present. However, upon attending I am unfortunately disappointed and appalled, and would recommend attending cheaper options for hair and makeup courses such as VCC. I was in the Professional Hairstyling program, more specifically the ITA program a while back, this is relevant as the instructor for that program conducts herself in a manner that is appallingly unprofessional and outdated. The first day of classes she openly mocked her former students for “getting fat” over the course of the program, and reminded us to not each too much during lunch to avoid this. Then there was the treatment of COVID-19 standards being frankly, reprehensible. Our teacher enforced a seating plan in the middle of a pandemic, when I was attempting to sit within my bubble of two students who I was close friends with I was told I was being disrespectful and forced to move despite expressing concerns to more than one staff member about this; I was ignored. I had a client in for a colour exam who complained about the lack of following standards, as due to the seating plan I was required to sit next to student who had been out of the province multiple times and was talking about it very loudly in the salon. Again I brought my concerns about too numerous members of staff as this incident caused me to lose a client because it made them so uncomfortable and again, was ignored. This seating plan continued until the end of the year, even in the case of being in very small classrooms.

I am a graduate of the Blanche Macdonald Aesthetics program at the Cambie campus and a graduate of the Hair Program at the Robson campus.  I graduated with the highest marks and the highest salon worksheet.   I am presently a student in the Barber course at Blanche Macdonald.  I was a student of the two campuses. When I first was looking for a school to attend, I did a lot of research on the different schools in B.C. for aesthetics and hair.  I am so happy with my decision to have attended a school with such high standards and professionalism. Initially, corresponding to Lise Graham and the time she spent with me and my parents made me confident that Blanche Macdonald was the school for me. I first attended the year program in aesthetics. I met some great friends and was among some of the best teachers in the Country. After graduating, I wanted to pursue the hair dressing program.   I loved the program so much. To have hands on and work with teachers who are so engage and enthusiastic, makes you really want to be like them. I am continuing now into the Barbering program. I am so happy to have attended such a professional school like  Blanche Macdonald where I get to learn from some of the most Talented and Professional teachers in the industry. Both schools at Cambie and Robson are beautiful, clean, and make you feel like a professional. Annie Hellman

Terrible admission and program direction. Trying to get them to honor their refund policy, sadly they don't care about education, students or student experience only your tutution and their bottom line. I can't even begin to tell you what a debacle my personal experience was. Good luck!

Blanche is your fast-pass to the fashion industry. I have always wanted to be in the fashion industry (like, since I was a young child). In 2010, I was choosing between Ryerson's and Blanche's Fashion Marketing programs and ultimately I went with Blanche because it was one year of accelerated learning as opposed to the regular four (and a girl's gotta pay the bills!). Blanche has instructors with massive amounts of experience and impressive resumes in the fashion industry-- And they teach things that you can actually use in your profession. Seriously! I still use my knowledge a decade after I've graduated. But the best thing is that Blanche sets you up with tons of inside fashion internships and jobs, even after you graduate. I was able to bulk up my resume with internships and jobs that I found through Blanche's exclusive job postings and connections. By the time I was in a leadership position for a multi-million dollar fashion company, I turned to Blanche to help me hire more staff because I knew I could trust their students. As an added perk, I met some of my best friends through the program and by meeting and working with other Blanche grads in all areas of the fashion industry. I am sure I wouldn't have had nearly as many experiences had I gone with another school. Years later I still have a great relationship with the staff, that's how much they care about their grads. Wish I could do it all again for the fun of it!
