    This student competition is one of the most dazzling and creative endeavors of its kind,” said Jessica Wolman one of three owners of the 20 cosmetology schools competing in the event.   “In addition to the excitement, it is a great opportunity for our talented students to meet with our exhibitors, as well as network with local and national salon and spa chains for potential employment opportunities once they have obtained their license.”
     Forum coordinators Wolman, Jerry Johnson (also an owner) and Margie Wisniski, vice president of operations, invite leading artists and industry leaders to showcase their latest trends in hair, skin and makeup, on and off stage, to some of the top cosmetology students in the U.S.  On stage demonstrations and training slots are available for $100 for a 30-minute slot.
