Career as a Cosmetologist
Career Statement
When one makes a decision about the work she/he will do in life, it is important that the decision be based on criteria that reflect his personal values, experiences, and skills.

So as I have stated before I love to see the before and after transformation of clients and it has been a learning experience so far in the industry that I do plan on working in a reputed salon where I can grow and learn from other stylists and advance my
