Before they cross the finish line, our August Cosmetology class had the opportunity to explore the many career paths this industry has to offer during their salon tours a couple of weeks ago. 💇🏼♀️💇🏻♂️
As their time here at Capri winds down, it`s exciting to reflect on how far they`ve come and all that`s ahead. Whether they dream of working behind the chair, specializing in color, styling, education, or owning a salon one day, the possibilities are endless.
We can`t wait to watch them take the next step and see where this career journey leads them. 💖

Our June 2025 Cosmetology Class is off to a great start! 💖 They`ve been staying busy in the classroom, building a strong foundation as they’ve began learning the essentials of hairstyling. Last week, they got hands-on with hot tools, starting with one of the most important tools in the salon—the blow dryer! 💨
Up next—perming! 👩🏼🦱🤩
