From Cosmetology Student to Business Owner and Instructor: Meet Sandy Pitts

The more people you meet from the Lorain County JVS, the more you understand the great and lasting impact our school makes in the lives of those we serve. This interview features Sandy Pitts, a past graduate from the Lorain County JVS high school Cosmetology program, who went on to own and run a successful salon in Oberlin. Today, she still runs that salon, provides mentoring opportunities for high school Cosmetology students-in-training, and also teaches in the JVS Adult Career Center evening program. Her passion for our mission is infectious, and that, combined with her expertise, is why she is “What Works at the JVS.” We hope you enjoy meeting her as much as we enjoy working with her!

Want to meet Sandy Pitts and see her Cosmetology program in action? The EDGEucated Cuts Salon is operated by second year students in the Adult Career Center’s Cosmetology Program under the supervision of licensed instructors.
