OPHA is an industry driven body that is passionate about maintaining the integrity of the hairstylist trade and promoting the interests of its members in Ontario.
A result of the dismantling of the Ontario Colleges of Trades, and concerns surrounding the future of the trade’s status as a restricted trade, a group of concerned hairstylists and former members of the hairstylist trade board decided there was a need to create an association to maintain the integrity of the trade as a restricted trade, to promote the interests of the trade and be a voice to government.
