Education is Key to Everything in Life.  Don’t let lack of funding stand in your way.

I would  like to invite you to join us in a special program to empower women who have recently, due to life circumstances, are being forced back into the work force.

I am offering  partial scholarships to women, who are hard working, self motivated, caregivers to their families, who would enjoy a career in cosmetology.

Cosmetology is a very rewarding and lucrative career choice for people who truly enjoy caring for other people.

I would love to pass on the passion I have for the business on to others who would like to help others. People who help people are usually the happiest people in the world!  I have worked in this business since 1982 and I Still LOVE IT!  Nothing is better than making someone else feel special and better about themselves.  Isn’t that what it’s all about?

Don’t get discouraged, you can start a new career at any age….We have had students in their teens and others who decided on a new career path in their 60’s. It’s never too late!

We work closely with several different organizations who may be able to help you with some of the financial needs associated with going back to school.  We are a CHI Partner School, so even though we have small classes in downtown Pauls Valley, we have information from all around the world to share with our students. Our Students can work where ever they choose in this wonderful profession.

We can help you to process applications from the Indian Nation, so if you are a tribal member they may be able to help you with your education. We work closely with several Tribal Councils.

We also have several payment plan options that we can customize to fit your needs.

So please don’t get frustrated….a new Career can be so rewarding, both professionally and financially!  Give me a call at 405-238-3426, schedule an appointment and I will help you get on your new career path.

Have a blessed day,

Special Event for Students at Penny Miller Cosmetology

Kristen Pless, Salon Success Specialist, recently presented product knowledge information about Aquage Hair Styling Products at Penny Miller Cosmetology Academy.

Students at the Academy enjoyed learning about the wonderful products that Aquage has and the advanced procedures relating to hairstyling, braiding, up styles and thermal styling techniques during the session Kristen presented.  Kristen is a wonderful educator, with a very hands-on approach, who enjoyed giving the students tips and tricks relating to hairstyling.  We look forward to having Kristen back again to provide more education.

With Aquage, we believe that one of the most important aspects of the professional salon experience is the ability to either enhance or transform natural texture.  Today’s professional has the option to create a range of possibilities for their clients using the right combination of Aquage tools and techniques.

The key to creating truly beautiful styles, with consistency and the ability to recreate them with predictable results, lies in the artist’s ability to create the proper level of flexibility and pliability of the hair fiber, regardless of the customer’s natural texture.

The system used to evaluate, prescribe and create the ideal level of texture is the Aquage pliant strength system.  The basis of our system is to first determine the hair’s natural level of pliability and flexibility and then choose to either increase or decrease the level of pliant strength with the proper combination of product and technique.

Aquage products are sold only to independent salons, no national chains or retail stores are allowed to carry the products, thus, keeping the product very professional.  Clients need to know exactly how to use the products and in what combination to get the desired effect.  It is a most wonderful product that truly delivers.  For a technical on how to blow dry short hair with volume and flexibility go to our “What Students Say” page and check out this short video.

Drop by the Academy and we will be more than happy to help you with your hairstyling needs with a consultation and advise on how to care for your hair.

Congratulations to Student of the Month, Heather Dilbeck, for outstanding performance as a Cosmetology Student at Penny Miller Cosmetology Academy!

Heather, a recent Pauls Valley High School graduate, attending Penny Miller Cosmetology Academy just received the honor of being our Student of the Month, for June 2012.  Miss Dilbeck is a very outgoing and social person who loves making her clients feel special.  She always has a smile on her face and is ready to accept any challenge.

Heather is a joy to teach. She is always willing to work on her assignments and to help her fellow students with their assignments.  She enjoys people of all ages.  She will do very well in the business of Cosmetology due to her outgoing personality.  She is very bright and energetic, and is a lot of fun in class.

When I asked Heather about her cosmetology experience and her future plans, she stated, ” I like doing perms and I love being around people and helping them feel better about themselves.  I plan on going to work in Pauls Valley after graduation and working full time in a salon.  I see myself possibly owning my own establishment after a few years.  Come by and see me at the Academy”.

We wish Heather much success in her career.  She has what it takes to make a wonderful cosmetologist.

Tammy Godfrey with Imageworks Photography will be here offering special promos. We will be working with Tammy on Special In House Promotions such as Glamour Sessions & Photographs that will be coming soon to Penny Miller Cosmetology Academy.

I have often wished that I could just freeze time so that I could hold on to certain moments for just a while longer. Photography has in some small fashion allowed me to do that. I have been blessed in too many ways to count and have often prayed that God would take my talents and make them a blessing to others. I feel so honored each and every time I am entrusted to capture the innocence of a precious newborn or the curiousness of a toddler, the sweet shyness of an adolescent, the proud excitement of a high school senior ready to tackle the world.</p><br /><br /><br /><br />
<p>Thanks to all of you who have entrusted me with your precious moments.</p><br /><br /><br /><br />
<p>Faith to Believe – Action to Achieve</p><br /><br /><br /><br />
<p>If you believe as God believes in you, then nothing is impossible.</p><br /><br /><br /><br />
<p>“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (Heb.11:1)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
Follow your destiny wherever it leads you…</p><br /><br /><br /><br />
<p>There comes a time in your life when you realize that if you stand still, you will remain at this point forever. You realize that if you fall down and stay down, life will pass you by. </p><br /><br /><br /><br />
<p>Walk your path one step at a time…with Courage, Faith and Determination. Keep your head up and cast your dreams to the stars. Soon your steps will become firm and your footing will be solid. A path that you never imagined will become the most comfortable direction you could have ever hoped to follow.</p><br /><br /><br /><br />
<p>~Tammie
