Student Spotlight!!!

Hello lovelies!! For those that don’t know me, I’m Deanna Huffman. I am in the cosmetology program here at Aspire. When I’m not in school, I’m either working or busy being a mother to two beautiful blessings, Darian and Marianna. I have worked in the medical field going on 5 years, so I would say helping people in all ways possible is one of my main core values. I’m extremely excited to help others feel their best and I’m really hoping to get to a point in my career where I can give back to the surrounding communities. I would love for you to follow along on not only mine, but my classmate’s journeys into the beauty industry!! Have a wonderful day!!

With love, Deanna H💚

Hi there! I’m Em. 💖

Cosmetology school has always been a dream of mine, but the timing was never quite right. After having two beautiful girls with my husband, and working in management for a season, the stars have aligned! I feel so blessed to be learning this trade at Aspire. ✨

As far as future plans go, I have big dreams of owning my own salon someday! But until then, I can’t wait to see what the Lord provides. 🫶🏻

Hope to see you in my chair soon! 💇‍♀️💅🏻

Welcome Ella Y.

Hi! My name is Ella Young and I'm currently enrolled in the esthetics program at Aspire Institute. I work at The Mercantile Sweets and Goods as a barista and in my free time I like to hang out with my friends and family, play with my dogs, and to travel (especially to New York). I've struggled with acne for as long as I can remember and I've became very passionate about skincare because of it. I can't wait to help you achieve your skin goals and to see you on my table!

Welcome Regan T.

Hi everyone! 🤍 I’m Regan, and I’m so excited to share a little bit about me and this new chapter I’m stepping into!

Beauty has always been something I’ve been passionate about, and I’m so excited to now be attending aesthetics school and learning even more about the beauty industry. ✨ I love being able to make people feel confident, beautiful, and comfortable in their own skin.

When I’m not at school learning and growing, you can most likely find me behind the hair chair at the salon doing what I love! 💇🏼‍♀️ I’m so grateful that I get to pursue both hair and aesthetics and continue growing my skills along the way.

I’m excited for everything this journey has in store and can’t wait to share it with you all! 🫶🏼
