(more…)Before attending Iowa School of Beauty, I was choosing between ISB and another local cosmetology school. I had heard amazing things about both schools. When I visited ISB, I felt right at home. Everyone was so comforting and welcoming, and I knew this was the place to start my adventure and future career.
Prior to attending ISB, my daughter Kamrie and I were running in-home daycares, which has its challenges. My other daughter Mia was fresh out of high school with a passion for beauty and makeup. She was too shy to adventure this path on her own, so she convinced all three of us to enroll at ISB! At first, I felt a little out of place as a non-traditional student, but before I knew it, I was just one of the girls. The experience is one I will cherish forever with many fond memories. We have now opened a small family-owned business in downtown Des Moines featuring skincare and hair. I would encourage everyone to attend ISB! It was one of the greatest groups of people I’ve ever met. From the instructors to the director and ladies in financial aid, I have had an experience there that is dear to my heart.
Before attending ISB, I worked for a Fortune 500 company with a great salary and benefits, but I dreaded work. I craved a more positive and creative environment. After attending ISB, I knew my life would never be the same.
Every day I look forward to something new and exciting. I was finally excited about my future and felt 100% ready to start my new career. I believe ISB gave me the best training I could have asked for. Later in my career, when I managed a salon and started recruiting, my top stylists were often graduates of ISB. Right out of beauty school they performed as if they had been in a salon for years.
If you have a passion for this industry and you are looking for a school that will equip you with the tools you need to be truly successful, don’t wait! Get started now! Attending the cosmetology program at ISB was easily one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It changed my life in so many beautiful ways! I now own my own business and have the freedom to spend so much more quality time with my family.
