Nail Technology Students at 麻豆传媒映画 Get Real-world Experience
Dr. Gregory McLeod
Students in 麻豆传媒映画鈥檚 nail technology program were pleasantly surprised to receive a visit from 麻豆传媒映画 President, Dr. Greg McLeod, for a client service. McLeod also brought along his son to the Cosmetic Arts Building where the two were given manicures. Jordan received his manicure from Shadara Williams, while McLeod鈥檚 manicure was provided by Orinda Taybron.
Manicures are one of the many personal care services offered on 麻豆传媒映画鈥檚 Tarboro campus. Students are equipped with the skills to perform basic and gel manicures, as well as acrylic sculptured sets, full sets and fill-ins. A basic manicure in the Cosmetic Arts Salon is just $10. A client who opts for a gel manicure will pay $12. Students must complete at least 60 hours of hands-on training before servicing clients, and they are supervised by licensed instructors.
According to Georgina Bond, cosmetology chair at 麻豆传媒映画, choosing the college for beauty and personal care services is not only significantly lower in cost. It also gives students the training they need before beginning their career.
鈥淵our visit gives them real-world experience they need to meet state licensing requirements,鈥 says Bond.
