Amazing Cosmetology School Experience

I truly appreciate the instructor/ teacher. She just knows what she's talking about, very easy going and gives the students clear instructions! I got my haircut twice in January and again this Tuesday March31 ! Im obsessed. Although i receive a basic trim, the young lady blended my bangs and gave me face framing layers! I'll post pics later due to my hair being wrapped up, but i did have a picture from church Wednesday!
