Graduate Spotlight
Why do Continental graduates love us?
Hear it directly from them!
As a kid I always wanted to be a hairdresser. When I heard about Continental, I knew that’s where I wanted to go. The first day I walked in, everyone was so welcoming and so friendly, it just felt like home. All the instructors were great. They were there for you and always willing to go above and beyond to help you out. Continental was a life-changing experience for me because it gave me the skills to make my dream of becoming the great hairdresser that I always wanted to be come true!
My experience as a student was amazing. The teachers are very knowledgeable. They actually care and want you to succeed. They make sure you graduate with the confidence to go out into the work field ready to conquer!
Continental changed my life in so many ways. It gave me the structure and stability I never had. The teachers became more like family than anything else. They would push you to do your best and wouldn’t let you slide with anything but that! The fun learning atmosphere made me want to go to school and learn more every day. It has changed my life so I can now pursue my dreams full force in the beauty industry and nothing can hold me back. I will now never have to worry about being able to provide for my little guy that’s on the way, because I’ll always have every opportunity available to me since I got my cosmetology license through Continental!
Thank you Continental! Love you all!
People always ask me where I attended beauty school and I can proudly say that I went nowhere else but the wonderful Continental. The follow up question is always, “Did you like it?” My answer? “Yes! I LOVED it!” As corny and superficial as it may sound, everyone you meet, students and staff alike, eventually merge into one huge family. The love and support you receive makes you never want to leave, no matter how much your “senioritis” builds within those last few months. Leaving Continental has made me realize that I made the right decision in pursuing my craft and not going to college like everyone else wanted me to. It gave me a sense of confidence to never be afraid of what others think and say about your decisions in life, especially when you’re doing what YOU want and LOVE. You’ve got to always be yourself, cater to YOUR OWN wants and needs, and of course, start it all at Continental!
