A History of Excellence

Behind every great establishment is a driven, committed and passionate team.

​

In the 1960′s, founder Lina Wood commenced providing expert guidance to students and apprentices, while driving innovation in hairdressing education. 

​

Lina was one of key pioneers of the private training system in Queensland, which has allowed hairdressers to complete their formal training in one year, eliminating the need for students to complete a four-year (now a three-year) apprenticeship program.

​

This leadership, along with the support of an expert team of educators renowned for their dedication to their students has kept BSH ahead of the pack in providing high quality, salon ready staff.

​

Lina's (while now retired) legacy and drive continues to power the growth and development of the Brisbane School of Hairdressing (now AAHB)  as it evolves into a world-class training college in the fields of barbering, beauty and hairdressing.

​

Changes in fashion, culture, music and art are followed closely by our team as we innovate to keep our training current, creative and commercial.

Remaining flexible and willing to embrace new ideas keeps AAHB graduates in high demand, another reason why we have the highest job placement rate of any school in Queensland.

​

Staff

AAHB currently has a team of quality educators and support staff employed to assist our students with their chosen career and development.

​

With extensive hair and beauty experience coupled with our own internal and external professional development programs we ensure our staff members are at the cutting edge of the hair and beauty industries.

​

To further support and foster the skill development of our students we also employ visiting educators and leading brand and product demonstrators that assist in supplying a well-rounded and industry current education.

​

Our staff believe that student engagement is a fundamental component of the learning experience and our open door policy continues to play a key role in creating a vibrant and inclusive community that strives for success.
