Spa
The dual-licensure program combining esthiology and spa therapy has been graduating future professionals for nearly a year and has just made some changes to the program. Esthiology-only and massage therapy-only classes will now be offered for those looking to become licensed in only one domain (or to gain an additional licensure). The program is also offered only 3-days week but start dates are limited to only two starts each year. Contact admissions for more information about the program changes.

Cosmetology
Recently the cosmetology curriculum was refined so that theory days could be streamlined to just Monday or Tuesday each week. This will allow future professionals to have more clinic floor practical time so they can continue to improve on technical skills and timing.

Heather Herring joins the cosmetology team as a part-time clinic floor educator. She also works full-time at Planet Laboratories in Cherry Creek. Mychelle Aberham joins the cosmetology team as the Intention Phase educator while balancing her education in the Spa program.

Certifications

Congratulations to Carrie Bellus, cosmetology team lead, for becoming a certified cutting educator. She joins Corinne Rasmussen, Nan Linder, Scott Clark, Stephanie Wujcikowski, Lisha Vargas, Desiree Greer, Callie Jordan, Danell Hilman, Jennifer McArthur and Katie Lopez.
