History
The College just started of as an Idea of just helping people in a salon, whereby an individual may come through and ask for a job but since they dont know much about the cosmetology so they were taught hands-on, whenever Madam would get a customer thats when she'll teach her people there.
It worked. Till it reached a certain point whereby alot of people would want to come and learn from her with even some little payment for gratitude, and thats when the idea of having a college came through.
The core foundation of this college is under cosmetology for its the first ever subject being taught to people and it gave birth to all other arts of studies in the college.
It all started in the mid 2000's then by 2012 she managed to actually open up the first class of cosmetology having almost 25 students a class.
