I have been working in the cosmetology industry since 2003 and am currently an independent stylist. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with and mentor aspiring cosmetologists, including students who were nearing graduation from beauty school. Through those experiences, I realized that many students were entering the industry without some of the foundational knowledge and understanding I believe can make a difference in their success.

That is what inspired me to teach Intro to Cosmetology. My goal is to give students more than just an introduction to the beauty industry. I want to help them build a strong foundation, learn the fundamentals, understand what cosmetology is really about, and develop confidence before they ever step into a professional program.

Whether students ultimately choose to pursue cosmetology as a career or simply enjoy learning about the industry, I want them to leave this class with knowledge they can carry forward. For those who do continue on to cosmetology school, my hope is that they will walk through the doors already having a basic understanding of the industry and some of the concepts they will encounter—giving them a head start and helping them begin their education above the curve.
