Last Thursday, juniors and seniors from the Cosmetology Program visited Spa Tech in Westbrook. They explored the 16,000 sq. ft. facility, watched Aesthetics, Cosmetology, and Barbering students at work and had a Q & A session with the instructors. This visit gave our students a good look at what to expect in post-secondary cosmetology and got them excited about their future careers! Thank you to MELMAC for providing funding for this trip!
