Samantha Hastings is a junior at North Royalton HighSchool and is enrolled in Cuyahoga Valley Career Center's Cosmetology program instructed by Melissa Fox. Ever since she could recall, Samantha has enjoyed doing hair and nails and most importantly, making others feel beautiful. After visiting CVCC and learning about the Cosmetology program, it felt like a no-brainer. Samantha’s favorite thing about the Cosmetology program is the opportunity to always try new things. She especially loves all of her classmates who she now calls friends. After graduation, Samantha plans to start working at a salon to continue improving her skills, and dreams about opening up her own salon one day.
“When making the decision to attend CVCC, my parents and my hair stylist really pushed me towards the Cosmetology program. They reminded me that this field is never going to go away; there will always be jobs in cosmetology. I’ve always loved doing hair and nails, and knew this was the field I wanted to go into after high school, so why wait! I have loved everything about the program thus far and Mrs. Fox has pushed me since day one, always reminding me that I am capable of anything and everything.” -Samantha Hastings
“Samantha is a team player, always follows directions, and gives 1000% every single day.” - Melissa Fox, Cosmetology Instructor
Outside of academics, Samantha is involved in dance and cheerleading at North Royalton High School and enjoys hanging out with her friends in her spare time.
