Artistic Academy Shows Up For Prom In Style

Spring is in the air at Artistic Academy in Morris Plains, NJ. To celebrate the season, Artistic Academy’s cosmetology and aesthetics students chose “The Prom” as the theme for Artistic Design Day.  During Artistic Design Day cosmetology and aesthetics students compete in teams to put together a winning look, in this case, prom.  The students apply their knowledge of make-up, hairstyling and beauty culture to put together some amazing styles.

These same skills and knowledge are applied everyday in Artistic Academy’s Senior Student Salon and Spa.  Under the supervision of state licensed educators, senior cosmetology and aesthetics students expertly apply their craft creating looks to meet the needs of their clients.  With hair-cutting and styling as well as make-up application available, Artistic Academy’s Senior Student Salon and Spa can provide the look that will complete any prom experience, at a fraction of the cost.  Artistic Academy’s Senior Student Salon and Spa is able to handle both individual as well as group appointments.  Clients are encouraged to make reservations as soon as possible in order to guarantee accommodations.

Graduate’s Road to Success Started at Artistic Academy

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.

Artistic Academy Graduate’s Spring Style Featured in Modern Salon

Jacquelyn Sasso, a graduate of Artistic Academy, is creating styles that get noticed.  Jacquelyn was recently featured in the March issue of Modern Salon.  Building from a strong base of skills she acquired at Artistic Academy, hard work and ambition, she created a sleek and sexy spring look as featured in the article.

Artistic Academy was able to catch up with Jacquelyn and ask her how she was able to get ahead in the industry:

Artistic:  What advice would you give to a student just entering school or entering the field?

Jacquelyn:  My advice would be to keep going, when you start out in a salon assisting it can take up to 3 years to get your own chair. They had been many times where I wanted to quit out of frustration, when you reach that point work even harder. Go to every class that comes your way and jump at every learning opportunity, it will only make you better.

Artistic:  What do you love about the industry?

Jacquelyn:  I love waking up everyday and going to work knowing that I am going to make someone feel really great about themselves.

Artistic:  What part of your instruction do you feel was the most beneficial?

Jacquelyn:  I would probably say that client-stylist relationship and professionalism was most beneficial.

Artistic:  Why would you recommend Artistic Academy ?

Jacquelyn: Well, if you go there you will 99% pass state board! I knew that set like the back of my hand!

Artistic Academy is very proud of Jacquelyn’s success.   She is a fantastic example of an individual who used her professional training, coupled with a desire to succeed, to create limitless possibilities for herself.
