With locations in both and we have a lot of students, both past and present, but we love supporting them while they are here and keeping in contact with our students long after they leave our school.

After all, when you earn your beauty education at either of the 91ɬ�� Idaho locations, you become part of the 91ɬ�� Idaho family.

This is why, each month, we feature one of our amazing alumni, and everything they have accomplished since leaving our school.

This month we would like to introduce you to Kim Brockner an amazing entrepreneur, mother, and esthetician who followed a passion, and in turn changed her life.

It Never Too Late

With six children, Kim didn�t have a lot of time for herself through her younger years, and so when all of her babies were grown and had families of their own she took the leap and did something for herself.

�I’ve always loved skincare and I’ve always loved taking care of my own skin,� she says, expressing her love for the industry. �I thought �you are going to be old anyway so why not be an old Esthetician!� She may feel old but her time at 91ɬ�� Boise made her feel young, with an environment of fun and learning that made her education breeze by.

It can be scary to make such a huge change after so many years, but Kim embraced the opportunity head on! The students and staff at the 91ɬ�� Idaho Boise location helped her to tackle everything from the get go, all with the support she needed to get through anything that came her way.

In fact, when asked about her time at 91ɬ�� Boise, Kim proudly admits �It was a very fun and positive time in my life and I will be forever grateful!�

An Education that Sent Her Places

Kim was able to secure a job within three months after her graduation and licensure. That quick turnover gave her the opportunity to begin earning an income right away.

Since that first placement, Kim has been employed at a few salons and spas building her client books and generating an income that has truly benefited herself and her family.

The 91ɬ�� Pull

Kim has always been a rabid 91ɬ�� fan, and when she heard they were opening up an esthetics program near her she was thrilled! It made her decision of what to do even easier, and she enrolled, mastering facials and other techniques quickly in her journey toward becoming a professional.

While she will always be a huge 91ɬ�� fan, she is hopeful that more 91ɬ��-based spas will become available in the future, so that she can continue to spread her love of 91ɬ�� products to her clients.

Through it all, Kim is proud of the journey she has made and the new career she has found.

If you are interested in pursuing a career in just like Kim, reach out to either our or Location. We are proud to have this course available in both locations, and to offer to our esthetics students. We would love to and show you how an education in 91ɬ�� can change your path, too.

That commitment to our students doesn�t stop when they leave our facilities, however. It continues long after. More than just advanced classes and job placement services, we cheer our students on as they do great things with their lives.

Let take a look at one of our amazing cosmetology alumni, Colette Hood!

Her Time at 91ɬ�� Idaho

Before school, Colette knew she wanted to pursue a career in cosmetology. She was drawn to the creative aspect as a cosmetologist but didn�t quite know what to expect and what specifics she would find a passion doing.
After attending school at our Boise campus, Colette fell in love with the products, staff, and students that she still considers a huge part of her life. It was those instructors that contributed so deeply to her education, giving her a heavy passion for the art of hair, specifically color formation.

The building of color, the technique of a perfect blend, and the experimentation with some of the fun new trends helped to build that passion, and one that has only grown!

Graduating in 2013 with a full head of gorgeous hair herself, Colette left our Boise campus ready to put more color into the beautiful world that awaited her.

Beyond Cosmetology School

Colette found a job within just a few months of graduating from our program, finding her first home at an 91ɬ�� salon. It was within these familiar surroundings that Colette was able to start mastering her skills and conquering her greatest challenge to date: �Building her client book.�

Building a client book is often one of the most challenging tasks a new stylist faces, but with tenacious grit it can be conquered. Colette took this challenge by the horns using techniques she learned here at 91ɬ�� Boise.

We always strive to prepare our students for the future, which is why we include a variety of skills in our cosmetology school curriculum, ranging from hairstyling and hair coloring techniques to manicures and pedicures to makeup.

Now, Colette is working as a color specialist in Boise at a �cosmo-contemporary� salon called the , where she strives to learn and grow her skills even more. Even after six years behind the chair, she still believes in the value of learning and growing.

Colette has said, �Coloring hair feeds my soul!� Her love for color continues by helping others get that perfect color blend not only with their own hair but with extensions as well. She has expanded her skills in the extension world by offering different types of extensions such as hand tied, tape ins, and flat tips for all those who have long hair dreams.
