As we wrap up 2025 at HDC, we’re filled with gratitude, pride, and excitement. This year has been a true reflection of our values — Passion, Service to Others, Accountability, and Innovation — and the impact of our community has been nothing short of inspiring.

From bustling classrooms and thriving clinics to unforgettable volunteer events, industry partnerships, and the incredible talent of our students, 2025 showcased everything that makes HDC special. And as we look ahead, we are thrilled to share what’s next.

But first… let’s look back at an extraordinary year together.

Student Excellence in Every Program

Whether it was cutting, colouring, facials, waxing, lashes, nails, or makeup, our students showed up with skill and determination. Their transformations, creativity, and client feedback throughout the year filled our clinic floor — and our hearts — with pride.

Major Volunteer & Community Events

Our students continued to shine through service to others, supporting local initiatives such as:

• Smile & Shine Pageant

• Pump Couture Fashion Show (Diabetes Canada)

• The Lady Ball (Ovarian Cancer Canada)

• Day of Caring Free Haircuts

• A Different Stage of Mind (Mental Health Foundation of NS)

• …and many more events featured across our social media channels.

These hands-on opportunities helped students build confidence and give back to the community in meaningful ways.

A Strong Year on Social Media

From stunning colour corrections to flawless nail sets, spa treatments, and behind-the-scenes classroom moments — our social platforms showcased the heart of HDC.
