💈 WEEK 3: CLIPPER GUARD GUIDE 💈

Before a barber can master fades, tapers, and blends, they must first understand their tools.

✂️ Building consistent fades
✂️ Developing muscle memory

❤️ WEEK 2: HEART & LUNG CONNECTION ❤️

Two powerful organs. One life-saving team.
This week, our CPR Education Series explores how the heart and lungs work together to keep the body alive and functioning.

📚 Students are learning:
🫁 How the lungs bring oxygen into the body

Understanding the connection between the heart and lungs helps students understand why CPR can make the difference between life and death during an emergency.

At Green Goals Beauty Academy, we’re teaching more than certifications—we’re teaching confidence, preparedness, and the power to help others when it matters most.
