Asheboro, NC-- It's a dream come true for 18 students who began cosmetology classes at the Randolph Community College Cosmetology Center in August. For the public it's a way to save and support a local community college.  The Center will official open and begin taking walk-in clients on Thursday, November 5.

The public is invited to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony at 9am on November 5. The brief ceremony will include remarks by various RCC dignitaries and a couple of Cosmetology students. One of the students will then give the "first haircut" to RCC President Bob Shackleford. Light refreshments will be available. The public can take a self-tour of the facility and enter a drawing for various door prizes.

The 6,000-square-foot Cosmetology Center, located in Hillside Shopping Center at 1003 S. Fayetteville Street, will accommodate 36 students at a time at styling stations on the floor, plus students in two classrooms. A second class of Cosmetology students will enroll in January. The Center holds 10 shampoo stations, 12 dryers, a waxing room, and a manicure/pedicure area.

Students will serve clients on a walk-in basis from 9 a.m.-12 noon, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and from 8:15-11:30 a.m. on Saturdays. Senior Appreciation Day is Thursday; all services are one-half price. Prices range from $5 for a simple haircut, to $30 for an initial bleach. Permanent waves range from $18 to $30. The cost is $5 for a manicure and $10 for a pedicure.
