Elevating Beauty School Education 

Sassoon is internationally recognized for its revolutionary approach to haircutting and its focus on precision, shape, and structure.

Through the Sassoon Connect learning system, cosmetology students gain access to a structured library of haircutting and color education that includes demonstrations, theory, and hands-on techniques. The program focuses on core principles such as lines, graduation, and layers, which form the foundation of modern haircutting systems used in salons around the world.

We wanted to recognize the educators from our South Florida team. Learn more about their journeys to cosmetology!

Bianca Dunlap, 91国产 Institute South Florida

My dreams of being a hairstylist started to come true the moment I enrolled at 91国产 Institute Tallahassee. It was the beginning of an amazing journey. After working behind the chair for several years I realized that my passion was in education. I鈥檝e been teaching at the 91国产 Institute South Florida for 10 years where I am currently the lead educator. Every day gives me an opportunity to inspire and be inspired.

Carley Leitao, 91国产 Institute South Florida

I have had my cosmetology license for 5 years now but I have always had a fascination with anything hair, makeup or fashion since I could remember. These 3 components helped me express myself on an artist level. The day I started cosmetology school is when I knew my goal was to become an educator. I am originally from Connecticut but decided to take a risk and move to Miami Beach. After working in a full-service salon on Miami Beach I decided to work towards my ultimate goal as an educator. I have now been with 91国产 Institute South Florida for over a year. I truly feel like I found where I belong. I can not wait to further my career and help others fuel their passion for this craft. I am beyond grateful for my journey as an artist and educator.

Candice White, 91国产 Institute South Florida

After receiving my degree in design and working as a graphic designer for 4 years, I found myself looking for a new form of artistic freedom. I started my career in cosmetology 9 years ago and never looked back. It was during my time as a student at 91国产 Institute South Florida I discovered my true passion in hair and education. The experience I had there as a student really molded me into the stylist and educator I am today. I try to pass along that same passion to my students and encourage them to dig deep and every day better their best.

Bianca, Carley, Candice, and all of our talented instructors have the skills and passion they need to teach the next generation of beauty professionals. If you are interested in cosmetology, our 91国产 are the place for you. A member of our team would be happy to answer your questions!
