Teen Vogue’s Fashion University a Great Fit for Beauty School Students

Heads up: keep an eye out for the announcement of the 2009 Teen Vogue Fashion University, usually held in the fall. If you’re

thinking about beauty school I can assure you that you’ll have a fabulous time if you get chosen to participate in this Teen Vogue annual event, where 500 teens gather to attend seminars hosted by fashion designers and beauty professionals. One sponsor, Redken, uses Fashion University “to expose talented students to a unique career in beauty. A career in hairdressing can be focused in the salon or on the runways where fashion happens on a regional and international level.” It’s a perfect introduction to the business before you enroll in cosmetology school.

Signing up early gets you a chance to possibly attend Redken’s “The Salon Experience,” where the teens have personal consultations with hair stylists who create each season’s looks on the runways of New York City’s Fashion Week. The stylists explain what it’s like to work backstage at a cool event like Fashion Week—how they design hair to complement clothing fashions and where a career in runway hairdressing can take you. It’s inspiring!

After attending the event last year and speaking with Kris Sorbie, Redken’s education artistic director, teen Anne Farrell Mudd decided to enroll in cosmetology school. A Redken spokesperson says, “Redken hopes to inform teens of the possibility of a career in beauty and the excitement and fulfillment it brings and also to inspire them in ways such as Sorbie has with Mudd.”
