February 2011

John Robert's stylists had the opportunity to spend two days with Tristin Morrisson, Creative Director for Aveda Academies Canada, focusing on creating customized looks and learning innovative cutting techniques and how to effectively communicate and design customized hairstyles for each guest.

Tristin began his career at Vidal Sassoon only nine years ago. Tristin is passionate about education and sees his primary role as one of developing excellence in education and helping to attract new people to the industry. Tristin joined the Aveda Collega family in 2001 and was an integral part of opening up the first Aveda Academy in Toronto. Since then, Tristin has been a key player in the opening of the three other Collega Aveda Academies in Canada, located in Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton.
