Students in the fifteen hundred hour vocational class learned how to cut hair, color hair, learned mani- cure procedures, and how to give fa- cials and perms. Several times a year, the cosmetology students held Hair-A-Thons. The purpose for the hair-a-thons were to give the stu- dents experience. First, the students were able to count these hours they worked toward their required hours and second they gained experience. The class would do extensive adver- tising before the event and then would accept appointments as peo- ple called. Finally, the services were rendered for a minimal fee and the operators found out what it was really like to work all day long do- ing hair. By the end of the day my feet hurt and my fingers were cramped but as each satisfied cus- tomer left I knew this was for me, said Anh Pham. The money earned from the Hair-A-Thon was put into the club fund and would be used toward their trip to Austin for board exams. Angela Paris explained, Cosme- tology teaches you everything you need to know to pass the test given by the state board. All students that wished to continue a career in beauty must pass this in order to be a licensed operator. It's really good to know that I am learning a skill that I can always fall back on if I'm ever in a crunch. Once I pass the board test then it's mine all mine, said Angela Paris. COSMOTOLOGY 1 O 5
