Beauty At Tech

Hi, my name is Gabriella Acosta! My time as a Cosmetology student at SECTA has been an unforgettable experience filled with growth, challenges, and meaningful connections. I chose cosmetology because I’ve always loved helping others feel more confident and beautiful in their own skin, and this program gave me the opportunity to do exactly that! Over time, I discovered that my favorite skills revolve around hair, especially styling and color, but I also enjoy doing nails, particularly nail art, as a creative outlet.

While I don’t have one specific favorite memory, what I’m most grateful for is the friendships I built along the way. The girls I met in this program became such an important part of my journey, and they made even the long, exhausting days more enjoyable. One of the biggest challenges for me was definitely the hours. The days could feel long and draining, but in the end, it was all worth it because of how much I’ve learned and grown.

Another major part of my experience was being involved in SkillsUSA. It brought me closer to some of my closest friends and helped me grow in ways I didn’t expect. Serving as the Nevada State Officer President for the 2025–2026 term was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! It taught me leadership, confidence, and skills that I will carry with me throughout my life. SkillsUSA is a place where you truly get to see people grow, step out of their comfort zones, and thrive.

One important lesson I learned is that not everything will go exactly as planned. In cosmetology, things can change quickly, and you have to be able to problem-solve and stay calm under pressure. Keeping a steady mindset is key to avoiding stress and continuing to improve.

After graduation, I plan to work in a hair salon where I can continue building my skills and gaining experience. I also plan to further my education in college, and in the future, I hope to come back and teach cosmetology. My advice to future students is to always give it your all, not just on the lab floor, but also in the classroom during theory. Cosmetology is more than just hands-on work; it requires knowledge, dedication, and a willingness to keep learning.

Hi, my name is Cassandra. My experience at SECTA as a cosmetology student has been incredible and filled with so many meaningful memories. Throughout the program, I’ve learned that stepping out of my comfort zone, no matter how intimidating it may feel, can lead to valuable opportunities that make it all worthwhile. Each experience I’ve been given has helped me grow both personally and professionally.

While I enjoyed working on nails and makeup, what I valued most were the connections I built along the way. Joining SkillsUSA was one of the best decisions I’ve made. It allowed me to meet new people and strengthen relationships with those I see every day. I was fortunate enough to travel to Atlanta for SkillsUSA Nationals 2025, and I’m excited to have the opportunity to experience it again this summer. None of this would have been possible without my amazing teachers, Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Halstead, who consistently encouraged me to do my best, thank you for your support and belief in me.

After graduation, I plan to continue my education in esthetics, and I’m excited to see where this next chapter takes me.

To incoming cosmetology students: when you feel like giving up, push yourself a little harder. Let discouragement motivate you to keep going. Stay focused, and don’t be afraid to ask your teachers for help, they are there to support you and help you succeed.

Overall, my experience has been truly unforgettable, and I will always be grateful for the incredible opportunities I’ve been given.

Heyy I’m Arianny, and cosmetology has truly been one of the biggest and best parts of my life. From day one I found something I genuinely love. Cosmo wasn’t always easy but every challenge helped me grow and I’m so proud of everything I’ve accomplished along the way. I’ve learned so much, built my confidence, and found what I’m really passionate about. These past years have been full of fun, hard work, and memories I’ll never forget. The friendships, the laughs, the busy days, and even the stressful moments made it special. I’m so thankful for my teachers who supported me, believed in me, and helped me become the person I am today (they will help if you take the help). And to all my family and friends for pushing me and supporting me i love you alll. You guys all mean so much to me and I couldn’t have done it without you. I’m really proud of how far we’ve all come. This is such a big accomplishment and if I can do it anyone can! I truly love cosmetology and I can’t wait to see what’s to come not just for me but for everyone whether you stay in this career or not!  I’m going to miss this chapter in my life more than I can explain but I’ll carry everything I’ve learned with me. Cosmo will always have a place in my heart 🤍✨
