Class 1009CD

Class 1009 Cosmetology Day out did themselves at their hair show.

Amanda's Romantic Look

They shined with originality and style. They worked hard to apply all of the information they learned in their first four weeks in Boot Camp to the mannequin. They also applied some God given talent and the results were phenomenal.

Our winners included Mirah Carpenter, with her flawlessly applied green extensions and the addition of a peacock feather.

Mirah's Perfect Peacock Look

Jaime Godwin rocked our socks off with a cut that had senior students (who were actually peaking at the show) exclaim, “Thats’ an awesome cut!”.

Jenna's Club Ready Look

Jenna Rameris added purple extensions to super straight twists for a club ready look to die for. Amanda Parker skillfully twisted and sculpted a butterfly to compliment  a divine evening look.

Jaime's Awesome Cut

We had everything from a cupcake look, a faux-hawk, to romantic evening looks. It was a blast to see what everyone came up with. The creativity in this group is awesome. Do you have style to spare? Call us and make an appointment to see how we can help you harness your potential 251-473-2220.

Cosmetology’s Boot Camp and Esthetics’s Camp Aegis day class graduated today. That means these students are eight weeks into their training and have learned the basics. Starting this Saturday they will be willing and able to assist clients with their skin care, hair, and beauty needs. So we would like to congratulate these students and we are eager to see the creativity that these individuals are certain to bestow on Blue Cliff and our clients.

Amanda Holmes, cosmetology day class, “As stylists we encourage our clients to step outside the box and try a new look, but how can we expect our clients to take that chance with us if we are not ready to do the same?” Our soon to be graduating cosmetology students proposed a theme week to take them “Out of the Box” and administration approved. The week, held Sept 13th to 17th included all sorts of themes; Monday was Rockstar Day, Tuesday Celebrity Look-a-like Day, Wednesday Decade Day, Thursday Grease Day, and Friday Hollywood Glamor Day.
