Thanks to Frederick City's United Fire Company #3, the students of Frederick School of Cosmetology learned basic first aid tips.

Emergencies can happen at any place and at any time. This interactive hands on experience allowed FSC students to learn value tips that could save a person's life.

Members of the fire company provided basic first aid instruction to the students in the event of a first aid emergency at a salon. The techniques learned by the students are important steps to take until first responders arrive.

The Frederick School of Cosmetology would like to thank United for their time and efforts. This was truly a valuable community strengthening activity.

This year, the Frederick School of Cosmetology participated in the Junior Style Stars National Hair Competition Contest.

This student only competition allows students across the country to submit their best efforts to a national panel of industry experts for review.

Prizes associated with this competition include cash awards, industry trips, one-on-one training with industry icons and more!

Cerissa McKinley and Adeola Mitchell represented FSC in this year's competition.

FSC recently had the privilege of welcoming Chantel Miller as a guest speaker. Ms. Miller is a working make-up artist and has done make-up for celebrities such as Paula Abdul, Faith Evans and Enrique Englesias. She has also worked on the Faces for Ralph Lauren campaign as well as Fashion Week in Paris and New York. If you recognize Ms. Miller it could be because you've seen her on the show Fashion Emergency helping with a makeover.

While Ms. Miller visited FSC she talked to the students about her career, how she arrived there and what to expect from it. She also demonstrated different make-up looks on a few of the students. Ms. Miller kept the students enthralled in what she was doing and showed them yet another career path once they graduate from FSC.
