Student hair-a-thon
Mahoning County Career and Technical Center’s cosmetology program will host the 12th annual hair-a-thon from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. today at the school, 7300 N. Palmyra Road.
The senior cosmetology students will offer hair, skin and nail services, including perms, relaxers, highlights, and coloring, to the public. Services start at $6. Money raised during the event will help to defray the costs incurred by students to take their state-board licensing test in May.
All services are performed by senior cosmetology students under the supervision of their instructor Linda Tomko. To schedule an appointment, call 330-729-4000, ext. 1309.
