A look of joy spread across the face of Hays High senior Vanessa Ramirez Friday when she finally straightened the knots out of the hair of a mannequin’s head.
Completing the task, as arduous as it was, took time and a little elbow grease. The effort was well worth it.
By finishing the assignment, Ramirez moved a step closer to earning her cosmetology certification offered by Hays CISD’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) program. It got her that much closer to her dream of possibly opening her own brand of hair salons.
