Internship HighlightsAudrey interns at Strandz Salon. 
What have you learned?"Something I that I have learned at my internship this month are:
* How to shellack nails, step-by-step
* How to arrange the color shelf
* The process of taking inventory
* How to determine prices."
What has been your focus?"I have focused on the importance of professionalism in the workplace this last month. I have focused on kindness and respect towards customers, as well as my coworkers. Being able to communicate is an example of this. A professional environment makes customers more impressed and willing to come back to your salon."

A huge thank you to Strandz Salon and the Holyoke School District for allowing this partnership to happen and our students to learn and grow.
