Palo Alto College Cosmetology Learning Studio

Palo Alto College Cosmetology Learning Studio

I have never been a fan of public speaking but, when a longtime acquaintance who is also the instructor of the Palo Alto College Cosmetology Learning Studio Esthetics class asked me to meet and speak to her class about my experience in the beauty industry, I felt honored and couldn’t say no. As soon as I walked into the class room, I was introduced to the class and greeted by the students; the class was small, which made it easy for everyone to ask questions.

Esthetics instructor Stephanie Solano-Menchaca told the class a bit about my beauty history and business and all the other ventures the beauty industry lead me to. After sharing with the students, it was neat to hear about what their favorite things about the esthetics course was, what they were interested in doing when they graduated, and how they were curious about my experiences as an esthetician.


The Palo Alto College Cosmetology Learning Studio has a state of the art setup. From its cosmetology stations, to its nail technician manicure tables, and its esthetics room.
