Armand
Pacheco: Institute Leader
As the Institute Leader, Armand facilitates
the curriculum and advances the programs to keep it fresh
and current. A veteran of two decades in the hair industry,
Armand has worked with Hawaii’s most influential salon,
including doing photo shoots and "a lot of print work" with
them. After moving to Seattle, he worked with a major Northwest
salon organization, first as a trainer for their salons and
then as Artistic Director for their academies.
"I think life is about learning and
continuing to learn," Armand says. Artistry, fashion,
and education have brought him where he is today. "Bringing
those three together, helping and inspiring people to grow,
is where I want to be and what I want to achieve, in everything
I do. I believe in investing in people and giving them a
chance to invest in you, your company, and your ideas," he
continues.
"I believe in learning from others, being aware of their
ideas as much as sharing my ideas and letting them know how
I feel. I want to bring to the Institute's students that
experience of meeting people in our industry, getting something
out of it, and learning from everybody."
"I just love being here," Armand
says of Seattle. "Coming from Hawaii, it's amazing to
me that I can love another place as much. It inspires me
to be here, and I think it's a very artistic place and a
place full of potential for growth."
Armand is available Tuesday through Saturday,
8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. He can be reached at 206.302.10xx or
email him at [email protected]. |
