The Glowing Melon

Once again, International Institute of Cosmetology students have focused their special occasion talents in a winter photo shoot in which they styled the upcoming spring bridal trends for CT Fashion Mag (ctfashionmag.com) photographed by Mike Chaiken.


The title of this year's article is "For brides with a makeup-hair to-do list, go Boho". Cosmetology program students carried out the Bohemian style on model Jade's hair and makeup, including a loosely-structured up-do with a beaded headband and a glamorous take on dewy, glowing makeup.


The work of current cosmetology students Olivia Ambrosio, Rebecca Duenas (hair) and Mayra Cagganello (makeup) was featured in this winter's bridal feature for CT Fashion Mag. We are excited for more IIC students work to be featured in upcoming spring 2018 photo shoots!

This past Fall, current cosmetology student Mayra Cagganello and mentor, educator Savannah Messenger, were selected to travel to New York City to participate in Modern Salon's Artist Session held at Wella Studio. Mayra and Savannah submitted videos that showcased their inspiration in the industry to qualify for this special opportunity which led not only to the Artist Session, but also a feature in Modern Salon Magazine! Martin and Teena Gugliotti, IIC's Dean of Students and Director of Branding and Culture accompanied them to the private event.


International Institute of Cosmetology was one of only two schools invited to participate in this exclusive event, which the magazine article attributes to when IIC "outperformed many schools in training and led the way for our Wella competitions". -From Modern Salon Magazine February 2018


Below are photos of the inspirational and educational Artist Session as well as the look, called Ethereal Blush, that Mayra and Savannah created for the feature.
