Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, I'm Mrs. Bianca and I'm thrilled to be your instructor. With over twenty years of hands-on experience in braiding and a decade of styling clients professionally, I bring a wealth of knowledge to the class.
My journey in the beauty industry began with a two-year cosmetology school program, where I earned my cosmetology license seventeen years ago. This formal education not only provided me with a strong foundation in hair care and styling principles but also instilled a passion for sharing my expertise with others.
Beyond my professional hair background, I hold a degree in Human Services, a field dedicated to helping individuals. This degree not only reflects my commitment to making a positive impact on people's lives but also influences my teaching style. I believe in fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment where every student can flourish.
What sets me apart is not just my professional journey but also my personal life experience in homeschooling. As a homeschooling parent first, I had the incredible opportunity to teach my own daughters the art of hair styling as part of their curriculum. This experience has shaped my teaching approach, emphasizing a holistic and creative method of education.
In this course, my goal is not only to teach you the technical aspects of braiding but also to share the broader world of cosmetology and creative expression. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, I'm here to guide you through every braiding technique in a positive and encouraging atmosphere.
I look forward to sharing my knowledge and passion for braiding with you during our exciting journey together!
