The Cosmetology juniors at Ohio Hi-Point Career Center recently completed Hair Cutting 101, reaching a milestone that puts them closer to achieving their cosmetology license.
After hours of practice, students demonstrated the proper knowledge and skill by completing six different haircuts and successfully passing two written tests.
To celebrate, the juniors received their own professional shears during the annual Shear Ceremony on Monday, Feb. 24, 2025, at Ohio Hi-Point Career Center. Junior cosmetology instructor Ginger Shellenberger told students and family members in attendance, “We not only teach our students the skills they need to be in this line of work, but also the professional skills to be successful – like communication, kindness and empathy. We are in the cosmetology business not just to make people look good, but to help them feel good.”
The following students passed Hair Cutting 101 and successfully earned their professional shears: Richiona Burnell (Bellefontaine), Josie Calhoon (Marysville), Cahle Carruthers (Indian Lake), Maria Casanas (Bellefontaine), Chloe Clark (Indian Lake), Angel Coleman (Bellefontaine), Jordyn Coons (Bellefontaine), Aynslee Dale (Mechanicsburg), Kauralynn Davis (Bellefontaine), Katelynn Jackson (Bellefontaine), Kaelynne Jones (Indian Lake), Sophia Loyer (Marysville), Kylinn Powell (Marysville), Destiny Ramirez (Urbana), Lilly Rose (Indian Lake), Makayla Rowley (Urbana), Hannah Russell (Triad), Sophia Shoup (Urbana), Lexie Stump (Waynesfield-Goshen), Zoey Tilton (Mechanicsburg), Carley Toops (Marysville), and Audrie Williams (Urbana).
