How Can MTI Change Your Life?

“Having a career in cosmetology has given me more time and freedom to do things with my family and friends. I love it one hundred times more than I’ve loved any other job. Clients come to me and they want something changed about themselves. And it’s so powerful that I get to change that one thing about them and make them feel absolutely beautiful.”

Allison

Cosmetology Program Graduate

“I was working dead-end jobs. Didn’t get a lot of leniency in time. I needed to be there for my kids. I needed to be there for my family—and the time just wasn’t there. And the jobs were not fun. And now since I’ve went to MTI, I’ve got to do something I really enjoy.”
