From Hair School to a Career

Some experiences are difficult to put into words, but every so often a student shares something that perfectly captures what it's like to pursue your passion. As one of our recent graduates reflected on her time at HDC, her words reminded us why we do what we do:

Dear Hair School,

Thank you.

Thank you for the friendships and connections, the thick skin, and the growth.

Thank you for the challenges, the laughs, and the tears.

Thank you for returning my confidence and reminding me to love myself.

Thank you for everything you have given back to me.

This experience has been one I could never explain, and I loved every minute of it. I have found my passion, I have found stability, I have found my path.

To every individual who has been a part of my journey, know you are in my heart always

From the mods before me to the mods after, my instructors who made every day a chance to grow, and especially my awesome classmates who made hair school as fun as it could be. We have been through every turning point with each other and we absolutely kicked butt doing it.

You have all made an incredible impact on my journey; I couldn't have asked for better people to do this with. I wish you all nothing but the absolute best. Know this is not goodbye, but a see you soon. Because I cannot wait to watch you all grow.

A massive thank you to my family and friends who have supported me, and the largest shout out to my partner. You not only supported my dreams when I sporadically chased them, you've supported me through the entire process as well. You are the reason I was able to do this. You helped push me even when I was exhausted, and I cannot thank you enough for that.

Though my school journey has ended, my new journey is soon to start. Catch me with updates for where you can find me!

As for now?

Watch out, hair world, here I come. ☀️✨️

At HDC, we are proud to be part of our students' journeys. Watching them discover their confidence, develop their skills, build lifelong friendships, and step into careers they love is what inspires us every day.

To our graduate Larissa, thank you for sharing your heartfelt reflection with us. We can't wait to see where your talent and passion take you next!

Congratulations, and welcome to the beauty industry. Your future is just getting started.
