For students enrolled in apprenticeship programs, such as The California Barbering and Cosmetology Learning Center, the world has come to nearly a full halt.
With salons and shops closed, they are left without professionals to work under and clients to practice on. Simply staying on their feet while they continue a now online education for a hands-on profession is the new goal.
The potentially extended graduation timeline, current lack of job security, and the resulting financial struggles of these students contribute to the need to assist them in staying on track for an eventual career providing the public a skilled and personalized service.
As I’m sure you have seen from the protester picket signs, people really care about their hair! And those of you staring at the mirror with a pair of kitchen scissors, choppy bangs, and regret, have discovered the time, skill and patience that cosmetologists and barbers provide their clients.
Please consider donating to help struggling future cosmetologists and barbers with keeping bills paid, food on the table, and children cared for as they continue to study to become your new confidant and personal artist at your favorite shop.
