Certification Course
Make-up Courses: over the years of working in this industry, we have determined that a growing number of students are enrolling into cosmetology schools, taking courses in hair and nails, but only seeking to obtain a licensing in make-up artistry.
We saw this as a perfect business opportunity to introduce state certificate courses allowing students to have faster access to rewarding careers. Make-up artists and teachers: we will recruit artists from surrounding areas who share the same passion as the Creative Chameleon herself. Recruitment efforts will be extended to MAC Cosmetics stores, and also local cosmetology and esthetician schools.
