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.
