The Flagstaff Empire Beauty School spent their Celebrating Mom open house honoring nearly everyone inspiring in their lives from mothers to teachers, coaches and mentors.

Welcomed guests participating in the open house festivities were pampered with a relaxing manicure and a complimentary tulip.

The school also honored their local anti domestic violence shelter at their open house. Hope Cottage, a local shelter, was honored to receive a donation in the amount of $680.25 for the needs of the shelter residents.

The reaction from the students was moving and emotional—so much so that there were students who wanted to visit the shelter to donate their slightly used clothing to help fill the additional needs.

Others at the cosmetology school’s open house event enjoyed refreshments and entertainment from the students who also dressed up for the event.
