As a long time producer of high quality ergonomically designed scissors, it was refreshing and exciting to talk with Lara Kelley of Minnesota School of Beauty. So often I talk to school owners who are simply looking for the cheapest scissors they can get for their school. Instead Lara specifically wanted tools to give her students the best chance of achieving a successful career and to do it in a healthy and sustainable way. If we had more school owners who thought like that this industry would be a much better place. Thank you for caring Lara.

My time at Minnesota School of Beauty was filled with all emotions. I went through good and hard times here, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. The people here are truly so great, they pushed me to do my best and picked me up when I needed it most. They really do care about their students here and want nothing but the best for you. When I didn’t understand something, they were right there to help me and explain it. I feel the experiences I had here were ones I wouldn’t be able to get at other schools. I am very pleased and grateful for my experience at Minnesota School of Beauty. They really do help you to become the very best you can be!

MSB gave more to me than just knowing how to do my job. They helped me learn more about myself. They taught me how to handle people, how to have more confidence, how to believe in myself and how to ask for help. Half way through the year things for me were not looking good and I was ready to give up, but Lara, Diane and the instructors wouldn’t take no, as an answer and they pushed me in the right direction and gave me what I needed to keep on pushing myself. We took field trips to salons, that’s how I found where I wanted to work. I have met a lot of past students of MSB and everyone had good things to say about the school. I am proud to be a graduate student at the Minnesota School of Beauty!
