Today and last night the students of Artistic Academy in Morris Plains, New Jersey showed off their creativity and skills with hair and make up to raise money for City of Hope in a contest to see who could be the “greenest”. The students raised $650.00 for the City of Hope Cancer and Diabetes Research Center. Everyone got into the spirit especially the daytime class’ winner, Chloe Malfitano.
Artistic Academy is proud to utilize Lakme USA as its professional color line of choice. The Lakme family of color includes: Collage, Gloss and K. blondes. The product line is new to the United States, but has been utilized in countries throughout the world for over 12 years. DePasquale Salon Systems, Artistic Academy’s sister company, is the distributor for the U.S.
Artistic Academy’s cosmetology students are well trained in both the artistic application of color, and the science that goes behind it. They are having great success in their Student Salon with Lakme color.
As the distribution of Lakme color grows, so does the number of trained, qualified graduates from Artistic Academy. Many of the salons in the state of New Jersey are embracing Lakme color and are thrilled to find capable, artistic, and knowledgeable graduated from Artistic Academy. www.artisticacademy.com

Kattia Solano, an Artistic Academy graduate, was recently featured in the March issue of Modern Salon. As a young girl of 12, Kattia knew she wanted to make her mark on the beauty industry. Using her aunt’s cosmetology equipment she was playing the part at home. After high school, Kattia enrolled at Artistic Academy to become a cosmetologist. Upon graduating from Artistic Academy, Kattia started working at DePasquale, The Spa.
Following a productive career with DePasquale, Kattia began to work in New York City. She was able to work with such great names as Fredrick Fekkai and John Barrett. She was soon able to open her own salon, Butterfly Studio. Kattia’s salon continues to grow and attract the attention of some of the industry’s top product lines.
Artistic Academy is very honored to have helped Kattia start on a path to a bright and prosperous career. We wish her continued success and the same to all of our past graduates.
