Grand Opening of RCC Cosmetology Center Set for Nov. 5
The 18 students who began cosmetology classes at the Randolph Community College
Cosmetology Center in August are ready to begin serving customers for haircuts, sham-
poos and styling, permanents, hair coloring, manicures, pedicures, waxing, and facials.
The Center will begin taking walk-in clients on Thursday, Nov. 5. The public is invited
to attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony before the grand opening, beginning at 9 a.m. on
Nov. 5. The brief ceremony will include remarks by various RCC dignitaries and a cou-
ple of Cosmetology students. One of the students will then give the “first haircut” to
RCC President Bob Shackleford. Light refreshments will be available. The public can
take a self-tour of the facility and enter a drawing for various door prizes. “The stu-
dents have done a lot of cuts,” said Tammy Matthews, Cosmetology program head and
instructor, of the preparation the students have been going through for the past several
months. “We started cutting on the third day. We also started coloring early.” Matthews
said each student starts out with five mannequin heads to practice on, and they get new
mannequins each semester. That is important, noted Matthews, to allow them to become
comfortable with the process and to try new things. “Even I continue to get new manne-
quins for when I want to try a new technique.” The students have also had a lot of prac-
tice on family members and each other. “I have a great group of students,” said Mat-
thews. “They have learned a lot in a short period of time.” And some of those students
have had at least a little bit of experience. Student Angela Knestrick of Asheboro, who
is married with a 6-year-old daughter, was attending Asheboro Beauty School when she
became pregnant and had to drop out. “As soon as I heard about the RCC program, I
