Jenks Beauty College Wants to Say Thank You.
We want to make sure that all of our partners, students, and staff know how much we appreciate them. The holiday season only comes around once a year, and we want to take this time to let everyone know what they mean to us!
Here are a few things we are grateful and thankful for this year:
Our Students
Without our students, we wouldn’t have anything to keep us going. Thank you 2016, and past, students!
Our Staff
Our students wouldn’t thrive without our dedicated staff! It takes a special type of leader to take their knowledge and pass it on to the future generation of beauty professionals. We couldn’t do this without you!
The Beauty Industry
The industry is booming. We are grateful that we live in a time that we can pursue our passions and make a living. We think it is amazing how much you can accomplish in 2016 as a hairstylist, hair colorist, hair designer, makeup artist, or any other beauty professional who works hard. The industry has grown so much, especially for cosmetologists, barbers, and hairdressers, and it only continues to grow!
Trends
It might seem silly to say that we would like to give thanks to this year’s trends, but we really are. Without hair and fashion trends, our ability to be creative in our careers would be limited. We want to thank grey hair, cotton candy colored hair, highlighter, and cut creases for making a statement this year.
Makeup Artistry
This year, we’ve seen makeup artistry flourish as a highly-respected profession. We want to acknowledge the fact that makeup artistry is, in fact, an art. You have to take the time to learn the craft well. We love makeup artists! We also love all the different makeup items that have hit the shelves this year, from rainbow highlighter to unicorn brushes.
Our Community
The Oklahoma community is an amazing place. We want to recognize them as a part of our success. Our students have the opportunity to practice on real clients because our community allows them to! Our guests are always one of our top priorities. To help give back to our local community, make sure to check out our blog on all the things you can do this giving season.
