Ebony Ivey

Esthetics Educator at Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ Fredric's Institute

Cincinnati, OH

I didn't see a lot of Aftrican American estheticians in the field, but I felt like this is a lane for me.... I'm going to create my own lane and I'm going to be the example that I was looking for.

Chloe Steverson

I didn’t even tour any other schools.  I knew that I wanted to go to Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ because I believed in the products and what the company stood for.

Jesse Sullivan

Stefanie Fox Jackson

Owner at Canvas Salon and Skin Bar

Columbus, OH

I started cosmetology school when I was 18. I actually gave up a full ride academic scholarship four weeks in to college. When the Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ Institute opened in Columbus, it was the very first school that was prestigious for beauty in the Columbus area. When a great school opened up I think it was giving me permission to make that decision.
