Cosmetology Alumni Heading to Italy

JACKSON, Mich. – Katie Dysert, a 2008 Springport graduate and Career Center Cosmetology completer will travel to Rome, Italy to study in a month-long apprenticeship in September.

“I am told that Italians love our American hair styles and I look forward to trading styles and techniques with the stylists there,” said Dysert.

She is a licensed cosmetologist currently working in Jackson at Elements of Hair Design in Jackson, which is owned by another Career Center alumni, Amy Bahlau.

Dysert will complete her associate degree in business at Jackson Community College in August and head off to Italy for her apprenticeship. Italy peaked her interest when a friend moved to Rome and married an Italian native who’s father owns a styling salon.

Where can you take the skills learned at the Career Center? Anywhere in the world!
