   Jennifer “JB” Bowens was the special guest speaker at the South Georgia Technical College’s Cosmetology “Color Made Easy” program recently for second and third semester students.

    Bowens encouraged the students to “keep learning because learning never stops!”  The purpose of the “Color Made Easy” Hair Color class was to educate SGTC Cosmetology students on color, color placement, and formulations.

    “We appreciate Jennifer visiting our college and for putting together this presentation for the cosmetology students,” said SGTC Cosmetology Instructor Dorothea Lusane McKenzie.  “She was able to talk with students about the hair industry and how it has evolved since she was in school.  She was also able to stimulate the minds of my students with the knowledge and possibilities of hair color.  Having professionals come in and talk with our students gives them a good perspective about the industry and helps prepare them for a great career.”

    Jennifer Bowens brought a fun-packed, hands-on class.  She explained to the students how important hard work and being dedicated would pay off in the future.  She also stressed to the students the importance of continuing their education.  “Keep educating yourself even after you graduate.  The industry is always evolving,” said Bowens.
