🔅 Majored in Sociology and Urban Education at the University of Pennsylvania
🔅 After Realizing that Victor could not express himself completely, he sought other avenues and found hair!
🔅 Doing hair gifts us the ability to be closer to our loved ones during the process of caring for their hair!
🔅 Cosmetology school curriculums only focus on straight or wavy hair, and this is a proxy for whiteness.
🔅 Opening to more textures and person types is important for progression, and more folks should be diversely educated.
🔅RISING STYLISTS: stay connected with your schools and shadow at salons before applying.
🔅SALON OWNERS: equity, true teamwork, education, salaried pay, and other benefits are very attractive and give you a competitive edge.
🔅Victor is looking for a salon that has a similar mission of equity and access, provides training, and wants to be able to serve folks who wear their hair in diverse ways like barbering, locs, twists, color, etc.
