Meet Cindy
Owner of Academy of Hair Design and Beauty
I studied under Donna at this very school, graduated, became licensed by the Missouri State Board of Cosemetology and then started providing high quality services in the Kansas City area. It has been a true joy of mine to be able to utilize my artistic talents to provide top-notch beauty services to clients and build trust and long-lasting relationships.
Fast forward to today, I am now focusing my abilities on equipping the next generation for success – helping my students to become excellent stylists and build confidence in themselves to express their art.
