Hairstyling: A Fun Career in Giving People Confidence

Hairstyling has always seemed so glamorous to me. The posh salon with the fancy coffees served by perfectly coiffed assistants while you wait for your stylist to call your name.  Then, you sit in that chair, the cape goes on and THAT’S when the magic happens.   

I mean what could be better than having the power to transform people, even if it is just through doing their hair?  Is there a better gift to give someone than self-confidence?  Not in my opinion. 

Some people say that your smile is the first thing people notice about you, but this year, when those smiles have been covered with masks, I think it’s a pretty safe bet to say that your hair is what really gets you noticed. 

Katrina Pereira started her hairstyling career over ten years ago and even a whole decade later, through a global pandemic and multiple government shutdowns, she still loves her profession and can’t imagine ever doing anything else. 

“I’ve always been so happy being behind the chair,” Katrina says.  “Every day is different.  I love my job and wouldn’t change it for the world.” 

Now as an outsider looking in, I’ve always felt that hairstyling would be a super stressful job.  I mean one wrong colour choice could ruin someone’s whole look and I think we have all had a bad haircut or two that made us realize that one wrong slip of the scissors can wreak havoc on a person’s self-esteem.  Katrina, however, doesn’t stress at all.  “Making sure the client is happy I would say is my biggest stressor, but if you are confident in what you are doing, it doesn’t really feel that way.” 

Katrina took a private college program and believes that what she learned in the classroom gave her the foundation she needed to feel confident in pursuing her apprenticeship which ultimately led to her obtaining her hairstyling license.  

“Always educate,” she emphasizes, “Education is key.  Don’t ever think you know it all because you don’t.  There is always something new to learn and a new trend to follow.” 

For this reason, Katrina has always worked in a salon setting learning from her peers; she likes the hustle and bustle of a busy salon and loves working behind the chair. 

But, there are so many options when it comes to hairstyling.  You can travel the world, you can be a personal stylist, you can open your own business, you can work on movie sets or in television, do sales for a product line or manufacturer or even choose to work in an upscale salon like Katrina does. 

The choices are endless, and the days are always different.  It’s rewarding to be able to add a little spring to a client’s step by transforming their look and it’s a career that you don’t have to take home with you at the end of the day. 

Katrina laughs and admits that it’s true that hairstylists are frequently treated like part-time therapists, often learning intimate details of their clients’ personal lives but, she enjoys being someone her clients trust and feel safe confiding in, just another job perk in her opinion.   

So, when it comes to characteristics of what makes a good hairstylist; from Katrina’s perspective, it’s that you need to be a people person.  “You really need to want to get to know people.  Not only what they like but who they are.  The best hairstylists need an outgoing/friendly personality to make their clients feel at ease and welcome in your chair.  You need to be a good listener; so you can really understand what a client wants to ensure they leave happy.”  

Katrina’s advice for longevity in the business is to stay true to who you are.  “The only competition you should have is with yourself.  With every client your goal should be to knock it out of the park and keep them coming back.” 

It’s a career where your skills directly impact your income; the happier your clients are, the more referrals you will get, the busier you will be which ultimately leads to a bigger paycheck. 

A career in hairstyling pays well and is also a “feel good” job.  Clients always leave your chair feeling better than when they came in.  Usually, their happiness is with the style you’ve created for them, but often it’s the kindness and encouragement you provide that will keep them coming back for more.   

Why Work in Supply Chain Management and Logistics?

Business… It’s one word that encompasses so much and can branch off in so many directions. Let’s take, for example, supply chain management and logistics.

A role that is so important in the world of business but doesn’t ever get the recognition it deserves. Well, not until a global pandemic hits and the word ‘supply chain’ pops up because people can’t get the products they are accustomed to in the timeframe they are used to getting them in.  

Supply chains really do make the world go around and are a necessity to any thriving business.

Marc Directo is Chief Operations Officer at Nix Sensor, a Hamilton, ON born company that creates colour sensors. The Nix Pro colour sensor allows customers in 50 countries across the globe to use this little device to pinpoint colour becoming today’s leading colour management tool. 

“As for a supply chain, when it works well, people don’t notice,” Directo jokes, but people do notice when there are empty shelves without product or when you order something and the delivery time is months away.

At Nix Sensor, they have a few employees who are solely dedicated to supply chain management and their role is to understand the timing of deliveries so that the products can get into consumers’ hands.  

Directo points out that China has periods in the year where they shut down, so you need to know these things to make sure you are prepared for them. 

“The supply chain has the potential to cripple a business if you don’t plan properly,” he states. 

Melissa Hardeo, an instructor of the Supply Chain Management program, who has worked in the industry for 24 years now, agrees.

Hardeo points out that one of the biggest parts of the job is planning, as you need to have a timeline of how you place orders. She emphasized that Covid has changed things a bit, but in general, a supply chain can pre-plan up to two years in advance. 

She used the example of a tennis ball. A simple product that can be found in all sporting goods stores, but when you break it down there is so much involved. From the fields where they grow the rubber trees to the textiles made for the outer shell, to the adhesive used to hold both parts together; not to mention the logistics of shipping all of these supplies, assembling them and then getting them loaded onto a vessel to come to Canada, then be tested, bagged and finally arriving on store shelves. 

There are a whole lot of steps involved to get something from concept to production through to delivery, and yet a great supply chain ensures the consumer doesn’t even notice.

Hardeo stumbled upon her first supply chain job as a student looking to pay her tuition. She simply saw an ad, applied to it and 24 years later, she has never looked back.

“There is so much room to grow and so many directions to travel in,” she points out. “So many skills are shared across the board so you have the basics to move in the industry.”

For such a pivotal part of business, it is shocking how small the supply chain teams in these companies are, but both Hardeo and Directo appreciate that there is so much room to learn.

Hardeo also pointed out that one of the perks of the job is getting to experience opportunities before anyone else so she can make suggestions and explore new ways of doing things.

It sounds like a very stressful job, with a lot of planning that might keep you up all night, but Hardeo feels the opposite.

“It allows a great work-life balance. It’s very flexible depending on what you are looking for as our teams are spread out across the world,” she states.

In general, Hardeo works six hours a day, from about 5pm – 11pm as she is dealing with Asian markets and a different time zone. It allows her flexibility to have time with her family while also working in a career she loves.

She considers anyone who is willing to learn and who is curious by nature to be a great candidate for the job. “You don’t have to be great in every subject like math or economics, you just need to be curious as to how it all works and you will succeed.”

“If you can grocery shop, you can do supply chain management,” Hardeo laughs. 

Hardeo is still as passionate about the job as when she began and still sees so much potential for growth.

“In the next 15 years, we could be shipping product to Mars to start creating colonies,” she laughed. “It used to be Asian markets that I enjoyed but imagine working on projects for Mars?”

I must admit that I am right there with her. The whole idea of a career in supply chain management is fascinating and the room for growth and career advancement has me sold. 

Supply chains make the world go round and if Hardeo has it right, they might make life on other planets possible sooner than later.

How a Business Management Diploma Can Benefit You

One thing that pandemic life has taught us is that no matter what is happening in the world around us, business rolls on.

From those working the front lines to those behind the scenes conducting payroll and planning shipments, business really encompasses so much and means so many different things.

I used to picture ‘business’ as my Dad dressed in a suit each morning, carrying a briefcase out the door to work and sitting behind a big desk making deals with other men in suits.

Today, however, men and women are running international businesses from their smartphones, while curled up on a couch or from huge office towers in the downtown hub.

Business is everywhere and those lucky enough to know the ins and outs are making quite a livelihood for themselves.

Whether you want to work as part of a family business, start your own endeavour or work for a big commercial company; a business management diploma will put you on the right track.

It will help you gain knowledge and understanding of the core elements of business and management – it’s also a great introduction into the world of business if you have no prior experience. You will be encouraged to apply academic theory to real-life situations that will help you kickstart your career once you graduate. 

Will Zak is a business management graduate and he decided to take the program because he liked the interpersonal aspects and career path. “In high school, I liked languages and working with other people so I knew I wanted to do something that encompassed that and would allow me to travel internationally too.”

Zak had no idea how many options there were until he stepped into the program and so many career paths opened up before him. 

“Business is a good landing spot for people who aren’t sure where they want to go,” Zak says.  “There are so many areas to explore and things to learn that you can sort of follow your strengths and passions and find something that suits you.”

One of the biggest highlights of studying a business management diploma is developing key management skills that will allow you to be a valuable asset to any organization. 

Zak also emphasized that there is a lot of room for growth and to develop connections in business so there are many doors that will open up to you along the way.  With new businesses popping up every day and new opportunities to be had, there is never a dull moment. 

“A big part of the appeal to work in the world of business now is that due to all of the different options out there, it is easy to find a role that aligns with your own values and beliefs,” Zak says. 

The Business Management program is also a perfect place to start for the budding entrepreneur.  With courses in accounting, marketing and advertising to name a few, it’s a program that can set you on the right path to achieving your goals.

In 2019 it was estimated that there were 3.5 million entrepreneurs in Canada. So, if you have a great idea or a start-up dream in the making, understanding the fundamentals of managing a business is sure to make you successful.

Virtual Learning as a Trillium College Student

Who would have thought that earning a college diploma would simply require me to log in and learn from home? It’s easy, it’s interesting, and it’s investing in my future, all from the comforts of my living room.

I didn’t have to uproot myself, figure out transportation, or even parking.

I didn’t even have to take on added expenses to buy new clothes or a new backpack… I’ve saved a ton of money by enrolling at Trillium.

My career path is clear, and my future is already looking brighter by simply logging in to my online learning platform.

Four mornings a week, I’m greeted by my instructor, I open up the chat to say hello to my classmates, and the live teaching begins. This wasn’t what I (or any of us for that matter) had planned on for my ‘college years’, but I’m able to remain focused and get my work done, usually while nibbling snacks and wearing my slippers.

Half the time, I only dress from the waist up and keep my pajama pants on for comfort, but I have to remember to turn my zoom video off before I stand up so no one notices. Let me tell you, that is NOT the case for some of my classmates- LOL!

Having a live instructor in a virtual learning environment to deliver all theory-based learning somehow makes the online experience feel like a real, in-person classroom.

Lectures move at a normal pace, and it feels almost as if I have a private instructor since all our computers are muted to keep the lectures free from distraction and background noise until participation is required.

To make it fun, I’ve even started a weekly tally for how many times someone says, “we can’t hear you, you’re on mute.” If I could put a toonie in a bin every time I heard that phrase, I might just be able to buy the college when this is all done.

But all kidding aside, I’ve never been someone who thrives under pressure. I hated when an instructor would call on me, and then all eyes in the classroom would be staring straight at me.

Being at home, being relaxed, and in my own personal space allows me to feel more confident learning the material and doing the assignments and tests.

The bonus is that I will complete my course faster than if I’d gone to a public college, and because of the condensed schedule, I will be able to get out into the workforce a lot faster than if I’d made another choice.

Now, I have yet to see a naked human run through the screen or hear a child singing at the top of their lungs in the background during a lecture like some online blogs profess, but there have been many funny moments as we all adapt to virtual classrooms and the magic that is Zoom.

I am by no means saying this has been a walk in the park. With my loss of part-time employment when the pandemic first hit, I didn’t have extra income or savings to pay for my courses, but my Career Coach helped me realize my tuition was an investment in my future. A Trillium College Student Finance Planner helped me to secure the funding necessary to complete my course; it was so helpful to have someone to help me navigate through all the paperwork. With the schedule being the same start and end times each day, it allows me to take on a part-time job in the evenings, and I don’t feel like I’m falling behind as I know I can fit everything in, including studying.

Another advantage of instructor-led virtual learning and one of the greatest reliefs during this pandemic is that I don’t have to wear a mask, I don’t have to wash my hands ten times an hour, and I’m 100% safe in my own home.

When my alarm goes off every morning, I simply head downstairs, pour a bowl of cereal and make myself a coffee while I boot up my computer and log in. Sure there have been times where the instructor will talk for a few minutes only to realize his mic was muted, or someone accidentally spills coffee on their keyboard and lets out a shriek of horror, but by the end of class, we’ve accomplished our learning objectives and that’s what matters most to me.

In a world that is moving so quickly with goods circulating at a rapid pace, the role of the Supply Chain Manager (SCM) is crucial.  

With the global pandemic we are all living in, supply chains have been severely disrupted, and it has had a huge impact on companies around the world. Sure, we have all heard this on whatever news channel we tune into, and those of us that do the grocery shopping have all experienced stock shortages because of so many delivery restrictions. I mean, who will ever forget the great toilet paper shortage of March 2020?!  

But what is supply chain management really?  

The basic purpose of the supply chain is to fulfil demand, drive customer value, improve responsiveness, facilitate financial success, and build a good network. Supply chain management is the lifeline of an organization and can cause a company to succeed or fail.  

As a kid, I remember playing this old-school computer game called lemonade stand, where we had to make a prediction based on supply and demand. We were provided the day of the week and the weather and then we had to decide how much sugar, how many lemons and how many cups we wanted to buy. Then we had to make our purchase and hope for a profit. It was a fun game and at the time I did not realize that I was learning about a supply chain.  

Supply chain management is necessary for the foundation of all societies. Today’s markets are highly competitive, and consumers are looking for the best value and reliability. Manufacturers and retailers depend on SCMs to design networks that meet customer service goals at the least total cost. To sum it up, efficient supply chains enable a firm to be more competitive in the marketplace and the Supply Chain Manager’s main goal is to decrease the total supply chain cost.

So, what makes a successful SCM?

The ability to adapt to the times, think outside the box and to embrace new technologies and ideas are definitely skills supply chain wannabes should hone.

How much do SCMs earn?

Are you sitting down….? The mean Canadian salary for an SCM with a college diploma was $94,961 in 2019. The Canadian Annual Supply Chain Survey 2019 estimates that there are SIX open Supply Chain positions to fill for each graduate with supply chain skills. It is a candidate’s market and companies are finding it harder than ever to source the best talent. Supply Professional says that the market is more candidate-driven than it has been at any point since the financial crisis in 2008!

What would I do if I were you?

Bob Inksetter used to work in a fancy kitchen, whipping up tasty meals that would make your mouth water.  He was passionate about food, but woke up one day and felt that he needed more.  He wanted to give back, to make a difference and help change lives. So; he took a leap of faith and enrolled in a Community and Developmental service worker program, graduated, started working and hasn’t looked back since.  

“As a chef I hit the wall with no upward movement that I could see in my career.  I was looking for a change and wanted something more fulfilling with more mobility.  I asked myself, What’s my purpose?  How do I want to leave the world?  I knew that when I checked out I wanted to leave the world a little bit better…I guess it was an age thing, but I knew I could do something fulfilling.”

Being a Community and/or Developmental service worker is a calling. It’s a passion for helping people from all walks of life and a desire to make a direct impact on people’s lives. The paycheque isn’t six figures but the job satisfaction is second to none.

Inksetter works as a family support worker at the Good Sheppard in Hamilton, ON.  His main focus is homelessness; helping his clients find housing after difficult situations. The Good Sheppard is the only family shelter in Hamilton meaning that they help with shelter for families that have a mother, father and children or a father led family. 

“It’s the only option for dads,” Inksetter says, “so that’s kind of sad and yet cool to be a part of at the same time.”

“I’m not gonna lie,” Inksetter comments, “there are days it is really tough,” but he then went on to say that one day in particular will always stand out to him.  

“We were helping this really young family try to find housing.  The mom was only 16 and the dad was 18.  They had experienced a lot of trauma and barriers, but they just wanted to live as a family.  It took a long time, but eventually we got them a house.  Our whole office had a celebration, lots of high fives were passed around.  It was a great day to be able to give them a start.”

Lindsay Riehl, who considers herself a human services advocate, has worked as a community service worker for a decade.

“You have to have a really strong will and you need to know your limits,” she explains.  

“You understand how lucky you are because after a hard day, least we can it behind and go home to our families, eat a meal and turn on the tv to unwind; something that our clients don’t usually have the means to do. It can be hard to see the situations people are living in, but you just learn to turn it off as a professional,” Riehl explains.

Riehl worked most of her career with brain injury patients; helping them to integrate back into the world and get back on their feet. 

 “When I can walk into a room, sense my client’s mood and diffuse a situation, I find that very rewarding,” she explains.

Riehl has since moved on to the developmental side of service work helping people with physical, mental or intellectual development disabilities function better in the classroom, at work or in their day-to-day life and is enjoying the change.  

“There is so much room for growth,” she explains, “New techniques, new ways to get involved in making positive change, there are so many possibilities.”

Riehl admits that there are hard days, but the bottom line is that there are many more days that you can go home knowing you have made a real difference.

Both Inksetter and Riehl admit that one down side to service work is burn out, it can be so hard to leave the work at work, but you learn to compartmentalize your emotions and do what needs to be done during working hours only. 

If you can identify with both Inksetter and Riehl as being someone who wakes up thinking, “How am I going to make this world just a little bit better for someone else today?”, then you are definitely the type of person who would excel in a career as Community and/or Developmental Service Worker, click here to learn more. 

Life as a Pharmacy Assistant

Teresa Kelly has worked as a Pharmacy Assistant for 20 years.  Her first job came after finding an ad in the newspaper and applying for it.  She has jumped around to three pharmacies during that time, but she has never looked back.  

“I love this job,” she proudly laughs.  “I love my patients, I love who I work with and I just love being able to really get to know all of the people who come in on a personal level.”

Teresa has now earned a 9-5 position and an income of $30/hr.  

Her main focus is to help people.  

“People don’t come into the pharmacy when they are feeling well,” Teresa said, “They are here because they aren’t feeling great so you need to be a people person and a bit compassionate.”

Now it’s funny because I always assumed the Pharmacist ran the show; that was until I saw Teresa Kelly and her colleagues in action.

They do pretty much everything to make the Pharmacy operate.  “We are the Pharmacist’s sidekick,” Teresa joked, “we are like their right-hand man.”

Their daily tasks include everything from collecting the faxes that come in from the doctors to stocking and putting out all of the supplies, to making sure that the right inventory is coming in to fulfill prescriptions, to answering phones and patient questions, to following up with doctor offices about prescription renewals and dealing with insurance.  

I remember going into the Pharmacy about a month ago to fulfill a prescription and coming home all distraught because the prescription I had been given was NOT the one my doctor had ordered. I angrily picked up my phone to call the Pharmacy and give them a piece of my mind, but I was quickly talked off the ledge by the Pharmacy Assistant who informed me that I was given a generic drug.  

“A generic drug?”, I questioned.  “Why would I want a generic drug when that is not what my doctor prescribed?”

In a very calm voice, the Pharmacy Assistant on the other end informed me that a generic drug is a copy of a brand name drug. The generic drug is pharmaceutically equivalent to the brand name drug: it contains the identical medicinal ingredients, in the same amounts and in a similar dosage form. 

There may be many generic versions of the same brand name drug, and these are usually available at a lower cost.

Turns out they saved me $60 to take a drug that was exactly the same.

It was like carrying a Gucci knock-off bag and no one being the wiser!  

From that moment on I knew that my Pharmacy Assistant was watching out for my family and I. 

“We do have a lot of protocols in place,” Teresa emphasized, “as with all of the drugs and people’s health we need to have a lot of privacy and confidentiality in place.  We need to make sure we don’t breach anything as we are dealing with people’s very personal information and we know all about their health history.”

Teresa emphasized that with more and more drugs coming into the market there are always jobs available. 

“It is a very high demand job and if you are a good (pharmacy) assistant you can get a job anywhere,” she said.

The key to being a good assistant is to stick around.  This industry sees a lot of students coming in and out, so if you plan to stick around and learn a lot, then you will have great longevity in this field and never be in need of a position.

Teresa considers the job to be a ‘lifelong learning experience’.  Every day is different as you are always dealing with different patients and different ailments.  

Teresa is thrilled that she answered that newspaper ad 20 years ago and encourages anyone who likes to help people, is curious about how medications work and is detail oriented to give it a try.

“It’s a great job.  You learn so much every single day and after twenty years, I still have a fascination for how drugs work.”

Before doing so, you will want to ensure you have everything you need beyond your classroom knowledge to impress future employers. Use our tips below to kickoff your career within the thriving esthetics and spa industry.

1. Narrow your skill set.

While in school you had the opportunity to learn a variety of skills, tasks, and practices within the esthetics and spa operations industry. Whether it was makeup application, nail art, skin treatment, and probably more, you will want to choose an area of focus and practice. This will not only make it easier to perfect your skills, but it will establish a specific market for you to conquer in. Trying to master and offer multiple types of services on your own can be overwhelming. As you begin to kickoff your career, you should begin by becoming proficient in one skill set and expand more services later on in your career.

2. Create a business card.

Be ready for any opportunity with a business card. First impressions are important and with a business card you can surely impress future employers, technicians, stylists, etc. Create a business card including your contact information with a design that reflects who you are. Get to know your local esthetics community online and in person. Be sure to keep a few business cards with you at all times because you never know when an opportunity may arise!

3. Have a stellar resume.

Kickoff the job of your dreams by creating a memorable resume. There are various ways to design and format resumes, but feel free to let it reflect who you are as well. If you are unsure of what to include in your resume, start with the basics:

• Objective
• Key Skills
• Experience
• Education
• Certifications
• References

A simple search online can provide great examples of specific industry resumes, including a resume template for esthetics. Also be sure to double check your work. We recommend having one or more people to proof-read your work. PRO TIP: Include a cover letter when applying to a specific job!

4. Showcase your services.

Show off your work visually using a website or social media page. Begin taking pictures of your work or work from the past, as well as posting relevant content. Building and sharing content can give others an exclusive inside look at your work and your creative side. Furthermore, showcasing your work and services is also a great way to begin growing clientele by sharing all you have to offer and all you are capable of providing. Showcasing your services can not only be fun, but is impressive from an employer’s perspective by showing how well prepared you are.

5. Practice and learn!

There is always room for improvement. As you prepare to kickoff your career and eventually advance in your career, you can always make time to learn more. Having the education and certification is mandatory, but learning anything else is a bonus. Get to know your esthetics community and feel free to learn a thing or two from fellow estheticians, beauticians, stylists and plenty of other professionals. Some communities are known to provide master classes at esthetic companies where you can even further a specific skill set. Plus, anything else you learn or certify in can be added to your resume and make you more reputable.

So, don’t let anything get in the way between you and your career in esthetics! The esthetics industry is constantly growing and changing. With so many beauty trends evolving and spreading, the need for esthetic professionals is definitely increasing.
