Beauty and Healthcare Programs
Hear from our students
Going back to school was something I had put behind me for several years, I felt that if I didn't put my head to doing so I would never get to it. I finally said I would and I did. The cosmetology program set me up to do what I craved the most, I was always attracted to the beauty industry and felt as if I was a little undecided about what I wanted to focus on. Going to school filled me with great knowledge and experience, and I was surrounded by mentors that pushed me to succeed and find my passion. I am now a licensed cosmetologist, working my own nail booth at Crystalina's nail shop.
