My Project

My middle school cosmetology program is more than just an extracurricular activity, it’s a passion that has transformed my approach to learning and personal growth. This program offers a unique blend of creativity, technical skill development, and community building, which is why I have come to love it. In my shopping cart we have 5D makeup silicone faces and makeup supplies. Donating these make up faces can give our students the practice to become make up artists one day. The best part about the 5D make up silicone faces is they will last for a while and can be multi use. The afro hair mannequin and hair accessories can help our students learn about texture hair. Texture hair and curly hair is good to learn because most people cannot deal with it. Giving this opportunity to have these textures mannequins can help our students learn the value of curly hair. These specific items will make a difference in their learning because it will also give them the hands on experience they can use. The main goal I have for our middle school cosmology program is to introduce students to the fundamental concepts and techniques of cosmetology, fostering creativity, self-expression, and practical skills while promoting an understanding of hygiene, health, and professional ethics in the beauty industry. This goal aims to provide students with a solid foundation in cosmetology, encouraging them to explore their interests and potentially pursue further education and careers in the field. My middle school cosmetology students are special to me because they are starting their journey in cosmetology at a young age, giving them a unique advantage in developing skills and knowledge over time. They bring fresh, innovative ideas to the field, often unbounded by traditional norms.

Their enthusiasm drives them to explore various aspects of cosmetology.
