Soon to be Cosmetology teacher!!

I have been doing #nails for 4 years. About 5 months ago I decided I want to teach and this was something I really fought with… I took that leap of faith but I couldn’t give up my income and switched to part time which looking back is really pushing this out extra long… but at the end of May I’ll officially be a cosmetology teacher! I will specialize in nails!!

My favorite part of cosmetology is you can be unapologetically yourself! From tattoos and piercings to the outfits!
