Back to all Success Stories...

Kalea Brisbin, Cosmetology Program alumnus

When did you graduate?
I Graduated in January 2008.

Where are you working?
Rumors Salon.

How did you get your job?
I got the job through a connection of Jill and Julie Schumacher (Rumors owner).

Were there any techniques or anything else you learned at Kohler that really helped you get to where you are now?
Things I learned... Professionalism, time management, and of course the basics of hair.

What is your favorite memory of Kohler?
My favorite memory would be doing dance moves we shared with each other in Zone 6 with Ralph, our State Board preparation educator, one day when we were going crazy from being in the classroom for so long. We all had a case of ADD that day. =) I also met two of my best friends through school Kohler Academy.
