I met world renowned beauty successors, witnessed my first NAHA award show, and received a scholarship to go toward my tuition. It was life changing and gave me the courage to chase my dreams without the fear of failure. After leaving, I thought that was the end of it, that I gained the experience and the rest of my career was up to me. It wasn\u2019t until I received a call after sending my resume to the salon, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leidanmitchell.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Leidan Mitchell<\/a>, that I recognized the everlasting effects of being a Beacon student.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"http:\/\/probeauty.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/a-woman-holding-a-large-check-in-front-of-a-pba-beacon-backdrop.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-632 lazyload\" width=\"422\" height=\"480\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.probeauty.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/a-woman-holding-a-large-check-in-front-of-a-pba-beacon-backdrop.png 562w, https:\/\/www.probeauty.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/a-woman-holding-a-large-check-in-front-of-a-pba-beacon-backdrop-263x300.png 263w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 422px) 100vw, 422px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 422px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 422\/480;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the time, the salon had just reopened from the quarantine shut down. They were not looking to add new staff but the owner, Jacki Tatman, still wanted to meet me. We discussed my resume and she noted that what stood out was Beacon. In the past, she\u2019d hired a stylist that attended the program herself and ended up being one of the hardest working stylists she\u2019d seen. I left the interview with mixed feelings, knowing that it went well, but maybe they didn\u2019t have a spot for me. Two weeks later she contacted me to say she made space for me because she did not want to lose me. Today, I assist the co-owner, Kelly Reid, and work for a company that sees potential for my future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p
