Salon Know-How Education & Training Institute offers internships to young adults--hands-on training in natural (textured) hair care, braiding, dread-locking, hair-locing, hair weaving, extension techniques, professional beauty industry policies & procedures, and salon/spa management skills. Salon Know-How has a desire to inspire and foster our young adults towards entrepreneurship.
Body, Soul, and Spirit Salon provided an educational space for creative youth and young adults right here in our local community for over 20 years for FREE. Our next endeavor is to increase the number of young people we train interested in the professional beauty industry. We started an education and training institute at our salon. Our mission is to offer free training to those young individuals in our community who otherwise would not financially afford to attend a traditional beauty school.
At Salon Know-How Education & Training Institute, the thought of turning away any young adult who has the talent or desire is not something to consider! Because of the increasing demand in our local area, the institute is partnering with Body, Soul, and Spirit Salon by training professionally as many young adults interested in our program. For the record, I graduated from cosmetology school way back in 1996, where I attended for FREE! Yup, you read correctly, folks. Over the years, this has been my attempt to "pay it forward."
The Story: Body, Soul, and Spirit Salon stopped accepting tips from our clientele in January 2019 to strategically set our establishment apart as a trendsetter in the professional beauty industry. We received somewhat of a slight pushback from most of our clients who "did not feel comfortable" not tipping. We realized utilizing tips our salon clients wanted to give us a year later, funding a free education and training institute for our youth. And Voila! "Tips" Toward Training was born!
To fulfill Salon Know-How's educational mission, we need more salon supplies, more staff, and more space. To obtain what we need to fully serve our youth's community, we need your help. Please consider making a "tip" towards our training (donation). It costs our institute approximately $14,000 annually to train one teen. We would be more than happy to also accept sponsorships! All monies raised will help to continue our endeavors. We will serve more youth each year, which will have a residual positive impact on the community.
Thank You!
Sincerely,
Ms. June E. Armstead
