Artistic Academy Students and Grads in the Spotlight

At Emiliani Beauty’s launch of L’Oreal Professionel’s new color line INOA, New Jersey stylists and salons came out to be a part of the festivities.  Anywhere there is this magnitude of excitement in the beauty industry an Artistic Academy graduate is sure to be near.  Kaitlyn Dinzes, a graduate of Artistic Academy in Morris Plains, New Jersey, was in attendance from Sparks Salon in New Brunswick, NJ.  Elizabeth Aragona and Danielle Conte (both current students) were also in attendance with their salon Divah’s Studio Salon in West Orange.  In an industry that is constantly moving forward, an Artistic Academy education puts students where the action is.

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.
