Kanika Free's love of education and cosmetology has blossomed into the The Salon Professional School of Cosmetology, which became the 175th Motor City Match to recently celebrate its brick and mortar location with a ribbon cutting 🎊 “I noticed a few things within the privately-owned and corporate-owned schools I taught at: the students would graduate and not really have any job placements, not know what to expect, or not pass the state board,” Free said. “I realized I could be a little more beneficial for adult learners who need a bit more flexibility. (The Salon Professional School of Cosmetology) came out of a need in the area and industry.” Originally starting out in Southfield, Free has moved her cosmetology school to Detroit's east side, 11019 Whittier to be exact. The Salon Professional School of Cosmetology has graduated 16 students in the past 2 1/2 years, boasting a 90% state board pass rate and full employment in their field. The school offers a hybrid learning environment, combining three days of in-person instruction with two days of virtual classes. Free says this flexibility has drawn students 30 and older seeking career changes while balancing work and family commitments. The school prides itself on smaller class sizes, focusing on a more personable learning environment.

We've BEEN that city 💫 It's definitely time for others to take note of Detroit's resurgence, and we are thrilled to see our President and CEO, Kevin Johnson, quoted in a New York Times article that came out this weekend. Know what else we love? Seeing Motor City Match recipient, Torri Hicks M.A., MFT, tell her story about why she chose to come back to Detroit to establish Youthnique Startup Center, which is helping empower Detroit's entrepreneurs throughout the startup process. Detroit's resurgence wouldn't be possible without one key piece, and that's Detroiters ❤️ Let's keep showing the country and world what we're truly made of!
