Armand Pacheco:
Instructor Training Program Leader
As the team leader for the Institute's Instructor
Training Program, Armand facilitates the programs and curriculum,
and advances the program 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].
