The inspiration varied from art, animals, and the Mardi Gras season! Lillian created two beautiful Mardi Gras masks.Miriah was inspired by the Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh print in the office. Brittney definitely was inspired by some big cats.Courtney mirrored the Japanese Harajuku style.Raelyn’s make up reflected Jack Skellington from the Disney movie The Nightmare Before Christmas.

All this talent and style right here in Mobile, Alabama. They definitely demonstrated what they can do with a make up brush. Great work and one more reason I love what I do and our students do too.

Do you love make up and hairstyles? Would you rather hook your friends up with amazing new looks before they hit downtown than anything? Blue Cliff Career College can start you on the path to a rewarding career in the beauty industry. Call 251-473-2220 to schedule a tour of our chic facility.

Administration threw a Welcome Aboard Luau for our students. The break room was decorated with paper lanterns and Ashley Sands gave each student in attendance a lei and welcomed them to the party. Jenny Ladnier brought in 3 door prizes, one for each department. The registration form for the door prize asked a simple question:

“What do you like best about Blue Cliff Career College?”

The three door prize winners and their answers were; Dana Austin, from Esthetics night class wrote, “Provides a great education. Great teachers and fun people to be around. I couldn’t ask for a better place.” Melony Shiveley, from our brand new Massage Therapy day class wrote, “Everyone is so very friendly, I am completely comfortable.”
And Amanda Parker, from Cosmetology day class summed it up by saying, “What’s not to like!”.

The students were encouraged to eat, drink, and relax while watching Lilo and Stitch. Luau punch, fruit salad, and sandwiches were served. Everyone had an amazing time.
