Hear from our Grads!

“While I was at Aveda we did career fairs and Lunchbox was actually at one. It was at the end of my time at Aveda, so I made sure I had my resume, I was looking very sharp and knew what I wanted to ask. After I had given my resume, I got a call. I ended up getting hired before finishing beauty school. . . I did not have any breaks and went full force into my career which I think is what helped because 6 months into working I was promoted to Assistant Manager and then 6 months later became Manager.

No matter what you should always persevere and follow your dreams.”

- Kiana Doe, Esthetician and Manager at Lunchbox/Radiant Waxing
