"My favorite part of my program was learning color theory. We took a very comprehensive and in-depth look on how different colors react to each other and how that applies to hair color at different levels and basic tones. So I felt like that was very helpful, especially wanting to be a color specialist in the future." - Joey, DJ Cosmetology Student

What made you feel confident to enroll at Douglas J?
"Before attending Douglas J, I was looking into it, doing a lot of research, and I actually messaged other students who were attending Douglas J, and they had nothing but great things to say. Similar experiences to what I had, you know, going from no experience to cutting hair every single day, and that made me feel confident, and Douglas J was the right place for me." - Mason, Barber Student
