Motor Vehicle programs. Today, you’ll witness firsthand the skill and dedication of our students
as they demonstrate their expertise in providing you with excellent service”.
Providing an overview of what to expect throughout the day, Mrs. Bloice expressed “In our
Cosmetology clinic, you’ll experience professional manicures, pedicures, shampoos, and facials
all provided by our talented students under the guidance of our experienced instructor, Ms. Petra
