Comments from graduates of the Gianneris School of Hairdressing
My name is Neos Kafazi (Dimitris). I come from Albania and grew up in Greece. I am 27 years old and a month ago I finished the accelerated four-month Barbering course at the Gianneri Academy IEK School. I would like to tell you that I have not regretted the choice I made at all because the know-how I absorbed from teachers Olga Gianneri and Vasilis Koukounitsa were the best foundations for loving this beautiful art. Now I have started working in Canada in a Barber shop and I owe it to my teachers and classmates, where we all collaborated and bonded with each other. I wish them the best. Thank you again for the patience and excellent communication that you provided me.
The Gianneri academy school is the best and one of the oldest schools in Thessaloniki. The instructors give great dedication to the students as they teach them techniques, haircut shapes, complete learning of the color palette of dyes and how to apply them to each client. Also, beyond the techniques, they prepare them to adapt to their future workplace, since the school also has a hair salon where students can take on clients at any time under the supervision of the instructors. The facilities meet all the requirements for the application of any type of technical work. I was very pleased to study at this school because we also participated in many seminars.
My name is Georgaki Maria and I happened to find the Gianneris hairdressing school on the internet. The school offers a lot of knowledge through the teachers, who are contagious and cooperative with a good mood. From the first months we learned blow-drying, perming, haircuts, dyes and highlights, many of which we practice at home.
I believe that the Gianneris school is by far the best, as their instructors are serious, measured, pleasant, and they teach us correctly so that we can get a good foundation for the future.
My name is Apostolis Iosifidis and I chose Gianneri Academy because it was recommended to me by friends and I was very pleased with the tour and the facilities. In the first 6 months we learned many techniques, such as combing, perming, curling, shampooing, coloring, cutting and highlighting, which I practiced on a doll and on live models. The instructors are among the best in the field and are very contagious and willing to work with all the students. I am very pleased with the school because you kept your promises.
My name is Melania, my dream since I was a child was to study Hairdressing, and this became a reality at the Gianneri Academy school, alongside renowned instructors. The highly trained instructors ensure the proper training of the apprentices, giving them the right foundations, informing them on new Techniques and generally everything new that is circulating in the Technical beauty professions. They are next to the needs of their trainees with willingness, love, consistency, creating a feeling of security and self-confidence in every young person who wants to work in the field.
Thank you very much, instructors and administration of Gianneri Academy.
It was an unforgettable experience, which will lead me to other doors that await me outside the Gianneri school!
I thank all the teachers who helped me a lot in becoming the best and most independent in this profession and thank you very much for this help!
The Gianneri school is excellent starting from the Management and ending with its wonderful teachers! Thank you very much for everything.
My name is Julie Korresi and I am a graduate of the SAEK hairdressing school of Gianneri Academy. I would like to thank the director of the school, Lillian Gianneri, for the two years she gave me at this school and for giving me the opportunity to learn even more with the help of my amazing teachers.
When I finished the hairdressing EPAL I had very little knowledge, so I decided to go to a professional hairdressing school. After a lot of searching I went to the Gianneri school. I am very happy with the knowledge I gained. The school has a very beautiful learning environment, with very good teachers and a willingness to teach you many useful things. The most important thing for me was that they helped me a lot to orient me professionally. Now I feel ready to make my new beginning in Italy!
I have been in the field for about 4 years now and after many seminars and an interest in hairdressing I had to find a school to get my license to practice. IEK Gianneri gives you the right foundation to understand and be able to develop what you love!! I made the right choice because I feel that although I am not new to the field, I am still evolving!
I am Bekta Kyriaki, I finished public EPAL and got the basic knowledge for me. Then I did an internship and there I realized that no one is going to teach you the profession. Then I was looking for the best school in Thessaloniki where I would get the knowledge I need to start the profession, I went to the Gianneri academy, where they taught me a lot more than I expected. Now I go to work cutting men's and women's haircuts, I learned color, technical work, perms. I am very happy that I chose this school because I learned a lot, thank you to all my teachers for their patience, the skills they taught us and of course the Gianneri academy.
