Throwing it back to last month’s Careers Educators Alliance (CEA) Conference by AACS! 🎉
 
What an incredible few days connecting with beauty, barber, and wellness educators, sharing ideas, and exploring new ways to prepare students for successful careers.
 
From our methodology class, From Classroom to Career: Developing Future-Ready Professionals, to the interactive Cap Carousel and Art of the Demo presentations on the Innovation Stage, it was inspiring to collaborate with educators who are passionate about developing the next generation of professionals. 🤝

The way students learn has changed. Has beauty education changed with them? 📚→💻

Today's learners expect more than static content and passive experiences. They want flexibility, interactivity, and learning tools that work across devices, at their own pace, and with greater visibility into their progress. 🎓

Discover how our new Interactive Study Slides and responsive eBooks are helping beauty, barber, and wellness schools create more engaging, accessible, and connected learning experiences for both students and educators. 💡

New Learning Enhancements Built for Today's Learners Explore new Pivot Point learning enhancements, built for today's learners with innovative Interactive Study Slides and responsive eBooks.

The cornerstone of a lasting career is understanding. When learners embrace the fundamentals and understand the “why” behind the “how,” they develop the confidence, critical thinking, and adaptability to grow, evolve, and succeed throughout their careers. 📐💡✂️ (📸: Luandson Lima | Hair Stylist & Educador)

For many dads, learning to braid their daughter’s hair is about so much more than learning a new skill. 💙

Whether it's learning a simple ponytail before school or mastering a hair design for a special occasion, knowing how to style your daughter's hair is about more than technique—it's about showing up, building confidence, and creating memories that last a lifetime.

That's what makes Pints & Ponytails such an incredible initiative. Created by The Secret Life of Dads podcast hosts Matt Carter and Lawrence Price, these relaxed pub workshops bring fathers together to learn practical hairstyling skills while connecting with other dads along the way. 🍻

We're honored to support the movement by providing professional training mannequins with a variety of hair types and textures—helping every dad practice with confidence before taking those skills home.
