Ashwaubenon cosmetology school will head for new and bigger space
The cosmetology school is breaking ground on a new facility thismonth, a 14,000-square-foot building that is expected to house morethan 100 students.
The site, at Packerland Drive and Main Avenue in Ashwaubenon, willbe the main site for the college, as all classes and training willmove from the current site at 2960 Allied St., Ashwaubenon. Theschool hopes to open the doors on the new site in April 2009, saidKathy Paschen, director of the college.
"The corner lot has a lot of visibility," said Paschen."Ashwaubenon is really growing, especially that area. And it wasjust time for something larger. We've been around a long time."
The current college has 55 work stations in its clinic, which willexpand to at least 72 in the new location. Paschen said enrollmenthas been up for the past few years, due to the heavy exposure thebeauty industry has received from the media.
"There have been lots of TV shows (and) lots of reality shows thathave increased the perception of the industry," Paschen said."People think to themselves, 'Hey, that's really cool.' There's alot of demand for people in this industry."
The new site also will have larger, state-of-the-art classrooms.
The Wisconsin College of Cosmetology offers a wide range ofservices including hair, nail and facial services everything fromhair extensions to brow waxes. The college also offers courses onfront desk service and other customer-service skills that areneeded in running a business.
