About International Academy of Style

I  don't have any children of my own, so I consider all my

students my children. They keep me young by brightening my days.

After getting my license in Cosmetology, I opened several Salons from 1966 until

1998. I share all the ups and downs of business with our students.

I was appointed to the Nevada State Board of Cosmetology five times for 4 year

terms (20 years) by Governor List, Governor Bryan twice, Governor Miller twice,

and Governor Guinn. While serving on the board and seeing what the schools

were turning out, I decided to open a school. In 1998 I open a cosmetology

school with my very good friend Loni Casteel.

I love watching the creativity that our students have and the beautiful work that

they turn out. I enjoy our outstanding staff of instructors.

I have attended all of the Redken symposiums which have advanced classes for

three days in everything hair which keeps me on top of all new cutting, coloring,

and styling.

In addition to my cosmetology experience, I served in the United States Naval

Reserves for 20 years advancing to Senior Chief Petty Officer (E-8) and retired as

a Veteran.

I graduated from Truckee Meadows Community College with a General

Education Degree.

I am now licensed as an Advanced Esthetician.

I enjoy all aspects of cosmetology and esthetics and love sharing that

experience with our wonderful students.
