A Three-Year Goal: Cosmetology Seniors Earn Their Licenses

Many heard this piece of beauty advice: "Be the very best version of yourself!"  Every cosmetology student strives to make sure this happens, but it is the responsibility of a cosmetologist to make SURE this happens.

Recently, two of our LCCTC Cosmetology seniors, Lacey Lopes and Kayla Baker,  fulfilled their obligations needed to take their cosmetology test to become licensed cosmetologists.

What does this entail?  A lot of time in theory and shop -- 1250 hours in all!  Let's not forget the online study and practice through Milady -- the industry-standard course.

After all of the theory and hands-on training, they needed to complete a 100 point online comprehensive test.  Both passed and are now licensed to work in Pennsylvania salons that offer services for hair, skin, and nails.

Lacey Lopes credits Mrs. Cepro and Ms. Marino from the cosmetology shop for helping her achieve this goal.  In fact, she publicly acknowledged them in her Facebook post:  "Thank you to my teachers for helping me prepare."  She recognizes that this achievement is much more than book work; it takes careful, patient mentoring and dedication from the student AND the teachers.

When Kayla Baker's college roommate posted, "Does this mean you can tone my hair in our dorm room next year?"  Kayla responded with confidence, "You know it!"  Setting a long-term goal, working toward that goal over a three-year-period, and finally meeting that goal is an enormous accomplishment.  It took over 400 training hours each year for three years to learn, advance, and master the art of cosmetology.

Congratulations to Lacey Lopes and Kayla Baker -- and to their teachers -- for meeting this goal.
