The Refinery House

Are you interested in our Fall 2023 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 centre.  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 10.  There are still spots available for spring & fall 2023, 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.
