Ohio Hi-Point Cosmetology students celebrate milestone at Shear Ceremony

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.”
