F stands for FUN FORUM!!

Girl 1: Hey friend! Is anything going on this week at school?

Girl 2: Um duh, just like the coolest thing ever. Forum baby! It's where Leadership Team tells us what's going on for the month, we eat good food, celebrate birthdays, and even play games!

Girl 1:  Sounds totally lame.

Girl 2: Lame? Watching Bachelor every Monday night is lame. Forum rocks. I wait all month for it. In fact, I even camp outside the back classrooms Tuesday night just to make sure I get a front row seat!

Girl 1: Seriously? I think I'd rather be washing my hair or doing a perm on my dollhead. I mean, really, I'm just too cool for something like "Forum".

Girl 2: What?! You've got it all wrong..everyone who's anyone goes to Forum. Last month I sat next to Taylor Lautner and Angelina Jolie. That's right...because it's THAT cool.

Girl 1: Hmm...well maybe I'll check it out. When is it?

Girl 2: The first Wednesday of every month at 4pm...that means THIS Wednesday!

Girl 1: Alright, I'll see you there!

See it's that easy folks! Share the news about Forum with your friends so everyone at school can get the 411 of what's happening around our school.

Check out some sweet action shots from January's Forum!

Get to know Kellyanne!

 I'm an Aries girl with a passion for fashion and helping people look and feel beautiful. I've been in the hair industry for almost 12 years and it's been a blast. I enjoy teaching color and seeing students gain confidence and succeed. I enjoy cooking, crafting, running and red vines. I grew up in the northwest but, prefer the sunshine of Utah. On my days off you will find me relaxing at home with a good movie and good friends. 

Hey Mandy You're So Fine!

Mandy Humphrey has a passion for providing ways for students to go to great lengths… for themselves.  Her vision as Director is to empower both staff and students to evolve to their best. 

With an initial college path in education shortly after marriage, to her best friend Jason, she switched directions and enrolled in hair school.  After 2 years of working in a salon Mandy determined with her enthusiasm for teaching and love for all things hair that working in a school would be the perfect match.

She is inspired by her students and greatly values their point of view and is continually striving to understand what they need and how she can support their success.   Mandy is motivated by overcoming fears by taking on new challenges and seeing others achieve especially when they take information she has shared and see them make it even better or more efficient.  She enjoys the challenge of finding new and creative solutions to encourage a positive and fun environment.  Mandy is rewarded when she is able to watch students begin their program and transform into amazingly talented, confident and competent professionals.

When Mandy is not teaching she spends as much time as she can with her husband and two sweet boys.  Her favorite vacation is Disneyland and when she retires dreams about becoming a Disney cast member

She enjoys a good movie that can transport her away from reality and cheesy teen novels.  She also couldn't live without chocolate and Friday night date nights with her sweet husband.

Meet Aubrey!

Hi! I'm Aubrey. I love love love doing hair and making people feel better about themselves. I love my cute husband and just got married in December 2012! Being married totally rocks! I am super crafty and would live at Hobby Lobby or at any craft store really if they would let me. I like all movies except scary ones.. cause I'm a wimp. I graduated from Renaissance last October and love being able to be a part of this school so much that I came back to work here! You can find me in the Dispense or at the Front Desk!

Vern-a-licious!

I am Veronica Kaletta. Most students know me as "Vern". I am currently the Orientation Director.  I moved here from NYC in 2001 to attend beauty school and have been in the industry ever since. I have been teaching now for five years, two of which have been here at Renaissance. I love instructing, especially the "newbies", because for many it is the first real experience they have had learning this particular craft. It's exciting to see someone achieve something they have always wanted to do and know that you had a part in it. As for myself, I like to have a creative outlet. I love cutting, photo shoots, up-do's, makeup, and things pertaining to theater. I believe that there is a difference in teaching fact versus opinion, and I think there are many differences that makes a stylist go from good to great. That is one of the reasons I love working at Renaissance. We are able to address those differences and have an awesome staff with varied backgrounds to support that.

M stands for Marnie

My name is Marnie Stevens. I run the Front Desk and Dispense at Renaissance. I grew up in Orem, Ut. When I was 15 I moved to Puyallup, WA and then back to Orem the next year. I have wanted to do hair all of my life. I am currently working at Hideaway Salon, and plan to continue on with my career in the beauty industry. My favorite thing about doing hair is being able to make someone's day. I am very outgoing and love new adventures. In September I moved to Ukraine for four months. I was there to teach kids English through a program called ILP. The experience was amazing and I would never take it back! I look forward to the future and all that it holds for me!

Meet Talia!

My name is Talia and I am the Front Desk Coordinator at Renaissance Academie de Hair Design.

 I am a student at Utah Valley University working on generals as I am unsure of the career path that I want to take. When I am not working or in school, I enjoy adventures with friends and shopping my heart out.
