Program Breakdown

Career Enhancing workshops

Beauty Links is dedicated to helping individuals champion their employment barriers. As a result, life skills workshops play an important role in this program.

Technical Training

Expert-led, entry-level training in esthetics or hair is another component of this program. Participants declare their specialization at the beginning of the program. Participants who select esthetics will be trained in Manicures and Pedicures. Participants who choose hair will be trained to shampoo and blow-dry hair.
