Beauty Changes Lives Enrolled Student Scholarship
Competition
Industry icons give back through mentoring opportunities
(June 11, 2012) – The Beauty Changes Lives Enrolled Student
Scholarship Competition launched Friday, June 8, providing an opportunity for
beauty school students to learn from industry icons in hair, nails, esthetics
and celebrity grooming.
Students enrolled in an
American Association of Cosmetology Schools member school can review complete competition
details and enter the competition by visiting http://beautychangeslives.org/scholarships/.
Each winner will receive a
day of mentoring with an industry icon along with a $500 travel allowance. Mentors
include: Ted Gibson, celebrity hairstylist; Jan Arnold, co-founder and style
director of CND; Dr. Howard Murad, renowned dermatologist and published author;
and Diana Schmidtke, makeup
artist and grooming consultant to many of Hollywood’s leading men.
Four mentoring experiences
will be awarded—two to students
pursuing a career as a hairstylist, one to a student pursuing a career in nail
care and one to a student pursuing a career in esthetics. Winners will be announced
during the Cosmetology Educators of America (CEA) Convention, July 27-30, in
Orlando, Florida.
A judging panel comprised of
industry experts will select finalists and winners. Finalists will be selected
based on their passion for the industry and the number of online votes their
application submissions (one-to-three minute video or essay) receive. Videos and essays must answer the question: How
does beauty change lives and how will you change lives as a beauty and wellness
professional?
Judges will be looking for
entrants’ creativity in presentation and how they believe a career in beauty
will change their lives
There are so many paths to
excellence in today’s beauty industry, whether it’s working in a spa or salon,
working with celebrities, developing products that transform skin care, to
owning a salon. As a beauty and wellness professional, the career paths are
endless. All of these careers change lives not just for clients, but for the
professionals who provide beauty services,” said Lynelle Lynch, president of
the Beauty Changes Lives Foundation.
She added the competition is
also unique in that it isn’t a talent competition, but an opportunity for
students to share their passion and aspirations for careers in the beauty
industry. “This competition connects beauty school students who have a dream
with those that are already living the dream. It underscores the support and
collegiality that distinguishes the beauty industry and makes it so special,” Lynch
said.
