More Than 750 Attend International Institute of Cosmetology Graduation Featuring Tabatha Coffey
On Sunday, October
25, more than 750 students, faculty, alumni, and guests of the International
Institute of Cosmetology (IIC) gathered at the Aqua Turf Club in Plantsville to
celebrate the graduation of 100 students. The event featured a sit-down
luncheon, fashion shows, awards presentations, and a commencement address
delivered by internationally known reality television star Tabatha Coffey.
From her roots as a
hairstylist, to her starring role on Bravo’s hit series, Tabatha Takes Over, to
her roles as author, entrepreneur, and red carpet correspondent, Tabatha has
been widely credited for her ability to help struggling businesses and
transform people’s lives. She draws on her own life experiences to offer
straightforward advice and the empowering message of inner beauty and strength.
Graduates were inspired as she advised them that, “in life, you need to be like
bamboo, where it bends but does not break.”
Graduates
received their diplomas from Tabatha and then each got a picture with the star.
After the ceremony Tabatha spent a half hour with graduates, bringing some to
tears because they were so excited to meet their mentor in person.
IIC is well known for
providing its students and alumni with professional experiences that aren’t available
at other cosmetology schools. The family owned and operated schools regularly
bring in stylists from around the world to give hands-on instruction. Some
students and graduates compete internationally and all graduates are
career-ready as soon as they accept their diplomas.
The International Institute of Cosmetology is an
accredited, family owned cosmetology school with campuses in Wethersfield and
Plainville Connecticut. It is Connecticut’s exclusive Pivot Point–member
