Get pampered at the MHCC salon with beauty discounts

Mt Hood Community College’s Cosmetology program is offering specials on some of their popular services this term.

Through March 18, prices are $2 for a classic manicure, $5 for a classic pedicure and $10 for a facial.

The discounts are available from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays, but clients must make sure to schedule their appointments before 1 p.m. each day.

Contact  503-491-7192 to make an appointment. The salon is in Room AC1127.

The specials are intended to generate more visitors to give first-year cosmetology students more hands-on experience.

“There are not quite enough clients,” said Judi Remsburg, MHCC cosmetology instructor.

Contrary to some common worries, cosmetology students in program don’t take as much time to perform services as one might expect, Remsburg said.

The appointments are “comparable” to those in professional salons, but also heavily depend on each student, she said. For example, a pedicure averages about an hour.

The deals offer a great way for Mt. Hood students to take advantage of these services, and any other community members, too.
