London 2024: Cosmetology

Cosmetology travels to London, England! This innovative city is full of fashion and beauty icons that revolutionize and influence many of the past and current beauty trends that inspire all beauty professionals. Students will enjoy the opportunity to experience education with another country’s cosmetology industry leaders to learn their practices and innovations to make their clients feel good about themselves. During this experience, students will engage in a two-day hands-on workshop with a Pivot Point education leader, learning “hairdressing” practices from hair design to hair sculpting. In addition to the workshop, students will participate in various cultural excursions that motivate them to think about the diversity of the British population as well as other career applications of the cosmetology field. Excursions will include a special effects makeup workshop; afternoon tea at Kensington Palace; visits to the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Harrods Beauty Halls, Borough Market, and the Migration Museum; a theater performance; a sunrise visit to Stonehenge, the oldest monument in the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World; and more.
