As a Fiorio Beauty
Academy student, you
will receive
incomparable benefits
and once in a lifetime
opportunities.
|
 |
| Upon
graduation, our
students are
given the
opportunity to
work in one of
eight Fiorio
salons across
the GTA or at
our salon in
Victoria,
British
Columbia. Over
75% of our
graduating
students choose
to stay within
Fiorio and work
at one of our
nine locations.
For these
students, the
transition from
school to their
first job is a
smooth and
comfortable one,
as they are
already familiar
with the salon
owners who
rotate
instructing the
students
throughout the
school year.
Furthermore,
students often
find themselves
starting in a
Fiorio salon
with one or more
of their peers
from the
Academy. |

 |
| Near the end
of the Pre
Apprenticeship
Course, we hold
a
professional
photo shoot
competition for
our students.
This allows them
to showcase
their creative
talent and the
technical skills
that they have
developed over
the past year.
During the term of the
Pre Apprenticeship
Course, we hold a retail
competition. Part of
being a hairstylist
involves educating our
guests on the products
we use on their hair.
The retail competition
motivates our students
to develop this aspect
of their profession.
First, second, and third
place winners are
awarded prizes for both
competitions. Photos
from the photo shoot
competition are used in
various Fiorio print and
online materials, such
as the Academy Service
Menu. This is a great
way for our students to
start building their
portfolios right out of
school. |

Fiorio
participates in
various hair
shows, fashion
shows, and
fundraisers
throughout the
year. In the
past, our
students have
had the
opportunity to
work at the
Allied Beauty
Association
(ABA) Hair Show
assisting our
platform artists
with wardrobe
and
set-up/production.
Also, Fiorio
students have
participated in
the Miss World
Canada beauty
pageant over the
last three
years, as Fiorio
has been the
official hair
sponsor.
These
opportunities
are priceless to
our students as
they are able to
gain exposure to
the industry,
network with
professionals,
experience the
hair world
outside of the
salon, while
enhancing their
technical skills
and growing
their portfolio. |
|
 |
| All of our
students receive
a service
discount, a
product
discount, and
student prices
on styling
tools. |
|
 |
| In the past,
our students
have had the
opportunity to
attend Cityline
as part of the
live audience.
Maurice Fiorio,
and his son
Phillipe,
regularly
perform live
makeovers on the
show. |
| Small
Class Sizes |
| We want to
give our
students the
highest quality
training by
giving them
individual
attention. Our
instructors work
with the
students
one-on-one to
develop a
stronger and
more confident
stylist.
Average class
size: 15 – 20
students. |
|
Instructor of a
Lifetime |
| Our students
are given the
rare opportunity
to learn from a
highly respected
industry icon,
Maurice Fiorio. |
|
State-of-the-Art
Facility |
| Our Academy
is up-to-date
with the current
trends and
equipment in the
industry. We
provide our
students with
all the
necessary
resources to
learn how to
operate in a
professional,
high-end salon. |
|
Convenient
Location |
| We are
located directly
across the
street from the
Davisville
subway station
in Toronto. |
| 12 Month
Pre
Apprenticeship
Course |
| Most hair
colleges offer a
10 month course
to complete the
1500 hours
required by the
Ministry in
order to apply
for a
hairstyling
license. At the
Fiorio Beauty
Academy, we
offer a 12 month
course where the
student
completes 1820
hours in total.
The reason being
our students
truly transform
into
professional
hairstylists
during these
last two months.
The extra
practical
experience is
necessary for
the students to
fully develop
and perfect
their skills
before entering
the workforce.
Furthermore, the
additional hours
may go towards
their
apprenticeship
hours. |
