The Cosmetology juniors at Ohio Hi-Point Career Center recently completed Hair Cutting 101, reaching a milestone that puts them closer to achieving their cosmetology license.
After hours of practice, students demonstrated the proper knowledge and skill by completing six different haircuts and successfully passing two written tests.
To celebrate, the juniors received their own professional shears during the annual Shear Ceremony on Friday, January 23, at Ohio Hi-Point Career Center. Junior cosmetology instructor Ginger Shellenberger told students and family members in attendance, “We not only teach our students the skills they need to be in this line of work, but also the professional skills to be successful like communication and kindness. We are in the cosmetology business not just to make people look good, but to help them feel good.”
The following students passed Hair Cutting 101 and successfully earned their professional shears: Brynna Avila (Indian Lake), Ava Backus (Marysville), Lilly Burks (Mechanicsburg), Abigail Church, Kaylynn Crumm (Benjamin Logan), Petyon Duckro (Riverside), Abigail Foster (Marysville), Hailey Hilliard (Indian Lake), Haley Hughes (Benjamin Logan), Miley Humble (Indian Lake), Jaylynn Ladd (Indian Lake), Scarlet Martin (Mechanicsburg), Scarlette Miller (Benjamin Logan), Abigail Mooney (Marysville), Alana Purnell (Ridgemont), Jacob Riley (Indian Lake), Mariah Robinson (Indian Lake), Alexandrea Slygh (Benjamin Logan), Paige Smith (Bellefontaine), Lily Strouse (Marysville), Olivia Warye Pickerton (Bellefontaine), and Payten Whitaker (Upper Scioto Valley).
