Hello Staff & Students,

Last week was an exciting week for MSC.  Along with preparing for our NACCAS accreditation visit, MSC was abruptly given the opportunity to be a part of the Nigel Barker book signing at the MOA. 

It all became official very quickly... Mall of America and The Publicity Firm for Nigel Barker approved Minnesota School of Cosmetology’s sponsorship of his MOA book signing and appearance last week.  The America's Next Top Model Celebrity Judge appeared Wednesday, September 22nd at 6 p.m. in the Mall of America Rotunda.

A team of fifteen outstanding MSC students and instructor Ms. Chris Guse were elected to give mini hair-styles and hand massages to Nigel Barker fan's waiting in line for the book signing. Our students said they enjoyed this experience tremendously.  "It was exciting to see how large media events come together, it was definitely organized chaos and it was good for our students to see how crazy these types of events can be and how you have to just roll with it", said MSC instructor Chris Guse.

Thank you to all our students who participated in this event and a special thank you to Tom Burke and Jill Yerks, from the CW Twin Cities, in making this opportunity for our students a success.
