Great Stories Start at À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Institutes

Mia Dinh

Owner / Manager, Hammer & Nails

Hollywood, CA

I wanted to be an artist, I wanted to be a teacher, and as I got older, I wanted to be a therapist. Being a hair stylist allowed me to be all of those things.

Chloe Steverson

Stylist, Nurtur Salon + Spa

Columbus, OH

I didn’t even tour any other schools.  I knew that I wanted to go to À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ because I believed in the products and what the company stood for.

Ashley Thomas

Educator at À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Fredric's Institute

Indianapolis, IN

Cosmetology was something I had thought about, but I had never seriously considered because I thought it was just a non-starter. Then I heard about the À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Institute and it just wouldn't leave my mind once I heard about it.

Becca Goodson

Education Manager

À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Institute Chapel Hill

I don't want to be anywhere near the mold. I just want to be me and I want to help other people be themselves.

Ebony Ivey

Esthetics Educator at À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Fredric's Institute

Cincinnati, OH

I didn't see a lot of Aftrican American estheticians in the field, but I felt like this is a lane for me.... I'm going to create my own lane and I'm going to be the example that I was looking for.

Toni Robinson

Educator at À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Institute

Chapel Hill, NC

If you enjoy your work then it doesn’t matter how many hours you put into it.

Megan Bitterman

Educator at À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Institute Columbus

Columbus, OH

I went to a 4 year college... did corporate America for about 7 years and did not enjoy that grind whatsoever. I just did not feel the payoff. So, I found À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ, took a tour and signed up!

Jake Ivins

Cosmetology Educator at À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Institute

Chapel Hill, NC

It’s about the students & watching them grow. That’s where my satisfaction & fulfillment comes from.
