STUDENT SPOTLIGHT ✨

How cool is this look? 🔥

Created by one of our Level 3 Hairdressing students as part of our recent photoshoot — from the styling concept through to the finished look.

We love seeing our students have the opportunity to experiment, get creative and put their own personality into their work. 🖤

And of course, a huge thank you to our models for getting involved!

Thinking about hairdressing? This is the kind of hands-on creativity our students get to experience at Varda. ✂️

💛🌼 Daffodil Day at Varda Academy 🌼💛

Our students were looking bright and cheerful today, dressing in yellow to show their support for Daffodil Day and the Cancer Society. 💛

Such a lovely way to come together as a Varda community and support an important cause that touches so many Kiwi families.

A big thank you to everyone who got involved and helped bring a little extra sunshine into the Academy today! 🌼✨
