ACE Cosmetology Highland Springs & Hermitage Collaborate in a creative hands-on edible haircolor Lesson
Sheetz on Airport Drive donated their large cookies for students to create a haircolor wheel to learn haircolor theory. They used white frosting and only the primary colors to create all secondary and tertiary colors, the chocolate chips indicated the complementary color used for haircolor correction services. When completed the project, they were able to eat them. Yum!
Thank you Sheetz on Airport Drive!
