“I really enjoyed my time at The Gordon. I had great teachers, the chance to meet people in the industry, hone my skills, expand my knowledge and build a portfolio. I personally loved all the competitions they run. They gave me the opportunity to experience a different side of hairdressing, and build my confidence in the process.
I definitely feel as though studying at The Gordon has pointed me in the right direction as to where I want to take my career. I absolutely love the fashion side of hairdressing whether it be runways, platform work, photographic or commercial. The Gordon has given me all the tools now I just have to put it into practice.”

“I started a hairdressing apprenticeship when I finished year 12 but have now returned to complete my trade on-campus as a mature-age student. I really enjoy how much time we get on the floor working in the salon, there is a lot of encouragement to gain as much practical experience as possible by bringing in models and plenty of opportunity for experience with real clients who book in.
This course has given me invaluable skills, and the teachers are easily accessible, friendly and very knowledgeable. It's a fun, hands-on environment and this experience has given me the confidence and determination to know I can succeed in the industry. With the enthusiastic backing of my teachers, I know I can achieve my goal of owning my own successful salon in the future.”
