2024 Youth Cosmetology Camp
About the Youth Cosmetology Camp
Developing the idea of hosting a youth cosmetology camp stemmed from noticing talent in the surrounding areas from social media, word of mouth, and flyers. Influence is at an all-time high with potential hairstylists, nail technicians, barbers and estheticians. With doing research, it was noted that many youth have become passionate with the familiarity of the craft, without being able to provide the knowledge and concept behind the techniques being used. Within this cosmetology camp, it will be hosted by North Carolina Cosmetology Master Instructor, Di'shawn Edwards, following the lesson plan of:
- Introductory to cosmetology
- Differentiating between hair textures
- Basic cutting
- Understanding hair and color tones
- Braiding, concept of plaiting, adding in extensions, and how to properly detach braid extensions
- Basic esthetic care
- Basic manicure and pedicure
- Money managing and budgeting concepts, along with proper procedure and sanitation being reviewed under each subject.
Youth will be able to work hands on with head, hand, and face mannequins using products and tools to become familiar with teachings. The youth will not be exposed to any hair chemicals, such as relaxers, hair bleach or any hazardous cleaning products. Youth will be provided educational packets and assignments, where they will be able to use local resources such as the library for research and education. Towards the end of sessions on specified days, we plan to host a meet and greet with hair and nail salon owners where they will share testimonials and stories of their career journey in hopes that students will gain insight into the beauty industry. And knowing the extraordinary turnout of this being the first year, we are seeking to hold this youth camp at least twice yearly for every interested youth to seek opportunity of fulfilling the entrepreneurship of cosmetology.
Become A Sponsor
The youth cosmetology camp is bringing forth education and contributing to entrepreneurial skills and providing tools that will be used there after. Youth ages that will be attendees are from 10 to 17 years of age. Our provisional dates have been set for July 17 through the 20th and July 24 through the 27th from 9 AM until 2 PM. We have set the bar to assist with 30 youth that are interested in the career path of cosmetology.
Within this multi-billion dollar industry of cosmetology, it has been known for talent to go unnoticed due to not receiving the mandatory education and licenses to follow. Students will receive trainings and undergo hands on practice with mannequins and other tools provided to ensure they understand the basics of cosmetology, sanitation and procedures, as well as understanding the fundamentals behind techniques of braiding, coloring, cutting, nail filing & shaping, esthetics, hair textures & tones etc.
Here’s where your part will be beneficial. We are seeking sponsorship for individuals in the amount of $150 per youth. With sponsoring a youth, you’ll be providing an individual with supplies for in-camp use, as well as at the completion of camp. If completed entirely youth, will receive a starter cosmetology kit with all major tools and supplies, as well as a custom polo camp shirt. Interested in sponsoring one of our youth?
