My Project

This project will provide our Cosmetology Club students with hands-on opportunities to explore their creativity, develop practical skills, and build confidence. Students will use mannequin heads to practice hairstyling techniques, nail tips and nail art supplies to develop their manicure skills, and other cosmetology tools and materials to explore different areas of the beauty industry. Through these experiences, students will learn patience, creativity, communication, and teamwork while discovering their individual talents and interests. Cosmetology is more than beauty—it can inspire entrepreneurship and career exploration. Your support will empower our young ladies to express themselves, encourage one another, and recognize their potential.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
