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 best hairdressing and beauty professions school in all of Greece! Teachers with patience, perseverance and constant supervision of students during the course, correct and complete explanation of all the techniques they teach.
The right choice for the right future professionals!
I am a hairdresser with my own shop and a large clientele in Edessa. I owe all of this to Gianneri Academy, which during my studies, provided me with the foundations to expand my professional horizons. My advice to young, future colleagues and in general to anyone who loves hairdressing is one: To study at the Gianneri Academy hairdressing school!
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.
I am George Kantemeridis and I am very lucky to have studied at the Gianneri Academy hairdressing school, both for the knowledge I gained in hairdressing and for the wonderful environment I encountered there. My teachers taught me excellent haircutting techniques and I quickly gained my own clientele at home. Now I am preparing to go to Dubai/United Arab Emirates to work there in a large hairdressing salon. I am very grateful to the Gianneri Academy hairdressing school for the opportunity it gave me to start a career as a hairdresser.
Gianneri Academy is the best hairdressing school in Greece! It offered me incredible knowledge in hairdressing! The school environment left me with the best impressions on a personal and learning level.
My name is Dora Barbarousi and my impressions of the school, the atmosphere there and the instructors are more than positive! With them, I was taught not only the art of hairdressing, but also how to collaborate with other people and love what I do! The Gianneri Academy hairdressing school in Thessaloniki was the best choice I could have made!
Hello, I am Christos Kostas and I chose Gianneri Academy after a long research in all the hairdressing schools in Thessaloniki. Already after 7 months at the school, I have my own clientele, although I graduate in 5 months. In the perfect facilities of the school, with the experienced instructors, you learn beyond the art of hairdressing to behave like a professional. The team of George Gianneris will show you the way, if hairdressing is your dream.
I am Olga Proka and I came from Limnos to Thessaloniki to find a good and reliable hairdressing school. I chose the Gianneri Academy hairdressing school and I was completely justified in my choice. The studies were exactly as they had been clearly described to me before I started, that is, completely adapted to the real working conditions and requirements of a modern hairdressing salon. I had every support from my instructors, who were always willing to be by my side during my studies. I graduated on October 30, 2014 and I am already working in a large central hairdressing salon in Thessaloniki.
I am Chara Matoula, I studied for a year at the Gianneri Academy hairdressing school in Thessaloniki, where I found what I was looking for, namely confidence and self-confidence, that I can succeed. I had help when I needed it and my questions were always answered. The school's environment is happy and exudes positive energy, something I will miss very much. During my studies, I learned to work in real conditions of a hair salon, while the communication with all the hairdressers, despite the very different character of each one, was excellent. The instructors are always there for the students to help them with their work, but also to eliminate any stress they may have. I graduated on December 4, 2014, completely justified in my choice.
