Success Stories
"I grew up in Detroit, but didn't want to work in factories or go to college. I used to draw hairstyles onto characters in comic books, and one day tried to sell them at a salon. The salon owner did me the biggest favor of my life and told me I was a hairdresser and just didn't know it yet. I've never looked back, after appearing as a platform artist and working in hairstyling for advertising and magazines. It's a great, fun career."
