5 days ago

Chilliwack British Columbia VP P Canada The Refinery House Full time $25,000 - $40,000 per year

Are you interested in our Spring 2026 Basic Hair Program?  We'd love to get you more information about registering for this program and getting you started on your journey toward becoming a successful hair stylist.

This "Basic Hair Design" series equips students for entry level positions in the hair industry. Some of the very top stylists in the valley are part of designing and teaching at our education center.  This means our students learn from the best, in a manner specifically designed by Refinery House Creative Director: Aly McRae.  Part of what makes our program great (besides being led by very successful stylists) is that we are committed to keeping our student to teacher ratio low, and so currently cap the class at 6-10 (depending on teacher ratio).  There are still spots available for Spring & Fall 2026, though we anticipate both programs being full at the time they begin.  We've had a great deal of success bringing students from zero experience to full time working stylists.  

Schedule: 

The Spring program dates are as follows: 

  • Tues - Fri 10 am-3 pm March 17 - Sept 18, 2026
  • Theory complete: May 28, 2026  
  • Technical Portion: June 2 - Sept 18, 2026

Periodically there are instances of interruption to service.  We do try to give as much notice as possible to accommodate changes to the schedule. As needed, we'll add training hours in salon to make up for any missed days. The following are the scheduled breaks for the Spring 2026 program:

  • June 29 - July 3 , 2026
