Cosmetology Students "See & Do"

When you walk through the halls of Chantilly Academy, you'll see students learning by doing in each classroom, and Cosmetology is no exception!  Throughout the year, our Cosmetology 2 students have the opportunity to learn from guest artists who are experts in the industry.  This week, Gregory White, Field Education Leader for the Hair Cuttery family of brands, visited our Cosmetology students for a See & Do on formal updos.  During a See & Do, students start by watching a demonstration by the guest artist, then they move to the salon and practice the technique they were just taught.  Students this week were able to learn a variety of formal updo styles from Gregory, then select one to try on their own.  We are grateful to the industry professionals like Gregory who visit the Academy and spend time sharing their expertise with our students!
