Last week, our hairdressing students had the privilege of being part of the Pink Ribbon Breakfast at Kirikiriroa Marae, hosted by Te Kōhao Health Kaimātua Rōpū. 💕

It was a truly inspiring morning, listening to the stories of cancer survivors and connecting with members of the community.

We were honoured to be able to give back by styling hair and helping people feel their best while supporting such an important kaupapa.

We're excited to share this video from the event, capturing some of the special moments. 💇‍♀️✨

Thank you to everyone who made us feel so welcome.

Today we had the pleasure of being a part of the Pink Ribbon breakfast event at Kirikiriroa Marae, run by Te Kōhao Health Kaimātua Rōpū.

Our hairdressing students attended and were able to connect with and listen to the stories shared by the cancer survivors. It was such a meaningful and inspiring experience for everyone involved.

What a beautiful kaupapa, we truly enjoyed helping people feel good and being able to give back to the community. 💕

Here are some pictures of the girls styling hair 💇‍♀️
