UA Cossatot’s Cosmetology Program recently received a $500 donation from The Springs of Mine Creek Nursing Home. The donation will cover student expenses to attend the Discovery Beauty Show in Grapevine, TX, in April.

Twice a month, UA Cossatot Cosmetology students provide haircuts and other hair services for The Springs of Mine Creek Nursing Home residents under the supervision of a licensed instructor. In addition, UA Cossatot’s cosmetology students were invited to help residents get glammed up for their Valentine banquet, providing hairstyles and manicures.

“This arrangement is a win for all involved. Providing these services brings smiles all around for the residents, their caretakers and families, and the students,” said UA Cossatot’s Cosmetology Instructor Toyia Witherspoon. “It is so rewarding to make someone feel good about how they look and something we often take for granted in a normal day-to-day salon environment. We certainly appreciate the generosity of the Springs of Mine Creek and their support of our students.”
