SENIOR COSMETOLOGY & ESTHETICS PROGRAM

Amanda's Art of Cosmetology Institute partners with Amanda Manigault Ministries to help beautify senior citizens within our community. The purpose of this program is to help preserve the dignity and self-respect of our senior adults through adult day care & senior centers. We want to improve the appearance and motivation of our seniors by providing beauty services, which helps them feel good about themselves and lifts their self-esteem. We know that when we look good, we feel good, ultimately, creating a sense of personal pride and belonging. It’s our quest to provide a touch of beauty that will enhance the overall self-confidence of our adult day participants. (This program will begin on January 1, 2020)

The Annual Holiday Extravaganza for kids

Every year we partner with Amanda Manigault Ministries to prepare for our holiday extravaganza to help make the holidays just a little more special for the kids in our communities. Our goal is to raise at least $100,000 in monetary donations. This year we will not only provide toys for kids, but we will give presents to our senior citizens. We provide toys and presents in three different states. We also visit the local hospital in each state and leave presents for patients. The $100,000 amount will cover travel, venues, food, snacks, hotel accommodations, rental vehicles, toys, clothes, hats, gloves, coats, presents and other misc. items. 100% of the proceeds will be used to cover all expenses for this event only.

It was an honor working with Amanda at her beauty salon in Atlanta, Georgia. Later she hired me as her beauty school director and helped me build my business as a private coach. Working with Amanda changed my life! It's been an awesome experience! She's one of the hardest working women I've ever met. She will push you to go higher! She's trustworthy, she's fair and full of tenacity!

Being a graduate of AACI was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life... I was challenged in areas of cosmetology in which I had no idea I could make a lucrative income. I was encouraged to complete the instructors program which landed me a position at AACI. Since graduating , I’ve worked independently at hair salons specializing in hair design, makeup, lash extensions, and eyebrow sculpting... Thanks to AACI, the sky is the limit with my career.

Confession Brings Possession
My name is Mariama Dumbaya. Being a hair braider for so long, I decided to go to school to acquire my license in cosmetology at Amanda's Art of Cosmetology Institute. I not only learned about hair but I learned a lot of life lessons. At Amanda's school I learned the power of motivational confessions and writing down my vision statement. My vision statements have become my power source of strength and keeps me grounded in my profession as an entrepreneur making sure that my going to school is not wasted. With these confessions I was able to put a picture in my mind of wear I'm going with my career as a licensed cosmetologist. At one point I had stopped doing hair, but that picture that I had put in my mind while at AACI is what kept me going.

A small seed can open big doors
Another valuable lesson I learned is to never underestimate the value of a dollar or cent. Ms. Amanda never turned down a client because of the price. Although a client may not have been paying the expensive price, she still found a way to give them a valuable service. For she believed that this very client may be the one that flood my salon with customers and I found that to be true. I learned that clients are the people that build your business. They are the harvest of souls for your salon. They will advertise you. Ms. Amanda always believed in treating everyone with respect, and pushing you to be your best. I will NEVER forget that experience at AACI.
