Tomorrow is the first day of Fall Cosmetology classes! Parking for Level 1 first year students is behind the building on 47. Level 2 second year students park across the street on Franklin Street. You'll find extra parking behind the MORRIS sign on 47 and along the side streets. Do not block driveways. Pay attention to drop off and no parking cones. This will get easier as you get to know the area and many will carpool.
Welcome!!

Greetings! Today, the last of our graduates were pinned. These individuals represent two vigorous years of the practice, patience, and dedication that such a license requires. The practical performances that are expected in this field are nothing short of a feat. As a salon owner and master stylist, I understand these performances are sometimes difficult to execute. I know what will be expected from our students once they become employed in this industry, and I am so very proud of what every student has accomplished this year. I know I may have been tough on you at times, because the public and the industry itself has expectations. I have no doubt that you will exceed these expectations. Good luck to all of you, I will miss you!!

Before and after! This client was ready for a lighter summer blonde color. She has massive amounts of thick curly hair. Olivia Ingalls and Jessica Mann did a fantastic color service adding highlights, a color retouch and glaze. Well Done!
