“It’s given me hope and it’s given me direction of what I want to do with the rest of my life. Forty is never too late. I’m not going to be a bartender for the rest of my life. I’m going to make people beautiful for the rest of my life. If you love people, if you love serving people, cosmetology is where it’s at in your life.”  – Ria R., current student

OUR EDUCATORS
