PHS Cosmetology Program Supports Breast Cancer Awareness

Paris High cosmetology students will be offering pink hair extensions, approved for wear at school, during the month of October, which is designated as Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  The extensions cost $10 per strand and are donated by CHA’s Beauty Supply.  The cosmetology department, located behind Paris Junior High, will be open at 7:30 a.m. daily and remain open until 7 p.m. on Thursdays. This year’s sales will be held in memory of Faith Williams, mother of former cosmetology student Reilly Williams (Class of 2012).  Arrangements can be made for students to come to a location to serve groups of patrons.
For more information, contact instructor Jamie Chapman at 903-737-7400 ext. 2833.
