Color theory meets creativity at International Institute of Cosmetology in Connecticut! Miss Corrah led an inspiring hands-on color wheel project where students explored the power of color by creating mood words that uplift and motivate. Projects like this help future beauty professionals connect emotion, design, and color in meaningful ways—building both technical skills and confidence in the salon and beyond.
