The new nail technology students had their Grand Opening on December 5, 2016. Every year, Ms. Bridgeforth sponsors a Grand Opening for her new students so people can get to know them. The new techs also have their official day to meet the new clients they will serve in the Cosmetic Services Salon. The new techs demonstrated the skills they have learned so far in the class. They provided complimentary manicures to the ladies from Our Lady of Fatima Senior Center. They serviced not only them, but also students and teachers at Patterson High School.

The goal of the event was for the sophomores to help the clients relax, get pampered and be happy. It was a peaceful and calm event and our visitors were very happy. It was a very beautiful event and successful.

Nail techs serve the ladies from Our Lady of Fatima other times besides the Grand Opening. Once a month, the ladies come and get their manicures for free, which is very kind of Ms. Bridgeforth. She says it is a way of giving back to the community.
