Cosmetology students to hold fashion/hair show

May 23 12:30 PM at the Effingham Campus

SAVANNAH – Sixteen students in the cosmetology program will be holding a fashion and hair show on Monday, May 23 at 12:30 PM in the outdoor courtyard at the Effingham Campus of Savannah Technical College. The event is free and open to the public.

Most of the students will be graduating this quarter and are preparing for their licensure tests. “This gives our students a chance to show off their creativity,” says Kimberly Cutter-Williams, department head and lead instructor of Cosmetology. There will be live models and manikins used in the show. “With the models, students will be able to show their ability to perform total imaging, including apparel, make-up and hair,” she says. Students will show avant-garde styles, trend color and weaving techniques using Paul Mitchell and Design Essentials products.

There are currently 40 students enrolled in the cosmetology program at the Effingham Campus, about 40 Liberty students and an additional 57 enrolled at the Savannah Campus.

Instructors from Savannah and Effingham campuses will support the fashion and hair show including Cutter-Williams, Vickie Horton, Denean Reynolds, Aretha Ward, Mini Washington and Timothy Wheeless.
