iSTEP

IP Tinsel Trends is a student-led business at IGNITE Pathways where cosmetology students use their creativity and skills to bring a bit of sparkle to the community. Specializing in selling beads and tinsel for hair, these students offer a fun and fashionable way for people to express themselves. Through this enterprise, they not only refine their cosmetology techniques but also learn how to manage a small business, all while spreading joy with every strand of colorful tinsel they add.
