SALON SUCCESS STORIES
“Incredible school based in Brisbane! I completed my apprenticeship here 17 years ago and now I send all of my apprentices here. Fantastic communication between school, apprentice, and salon.”
“Since switching apprentices to Brisbane’s MIG Training in 2019, our salon has been consistently impressed by the quality of training, strong industry support, and collaborative partnership. MIG’s dedicated trainers align training with our salon standards, giving us confidence in our apprentices’ development and future success.”
“At Epic Hair Designs, we have tried many Brisbane hairdressing schools and MIG has been the best by far. Apprentices have plenty of clients to practice on and the trainers have the right skills to be able to teach good hairdressing practices. I highly recommend MIG for a salon that wants to grow and a salon that wants the best apprentices.”

I’ve been coming to MIG for 3 years now. The trainers and the students are all such delightful people and they do an incredible job of my hair every single time. You are in great hands with the MIG team 😁
The team here are just Amazing and I am so happy that I have found them. I work across the road from the salon and had seen many happy clients leaving the salon and having 'after' photos taken outside. Everyone always looked fabulous so I booked an appointment for myself. I was made to feel very welcome by Neil and immediately felt at ease. Jean did an exceptional job at cutting and styling my hair and Freya was amazing at head massages! The service was just brilliant and I can honesty say it is the best haircut I have had in years! Love these guys and will be back very soon!
I have been attending MIG for 4 years now I started when I was 16 and I was so nervous and shy, but the last 4 years have been amazing. I did a school based apprenticeship and graduated year 12 and could not have done it without my MIG trainer Melinda Rolls. She was absolutely fantastic and so patient and hands on. She helped me keep on track and provided 100% her undivided attention and interest. I never felt like I was just another student, I was so well looked after by her and the whole team. I recently graduated and I am so glade that I chose MIG to assist me with my qualification. I also did a year going to the campus after year 12 and felt so welcomed and supported by the whole team. Neil, Olivia and Lisa honestly were amazing and so inspiring. Seeing how they conduct themselves and their profession made me feel so safe and confident. I have absolutely loved my experience with MIG and always felt looked after and like I mattered. I will forever appreciate the help and experience that you guys have provided me over the last 4 years. Thank you so much.
Just wanted to say a Very Big Thank You to both Kathleen and Neil after my hair appointment last week.
