Lansing, MI · The Next Chapter
Help me become a licensed cosmetologist.
I’ve spent years building this lab around loc and braid work — but without a cosmetology license, there’s a ceiling on what I can offer in the chair. Every contribution toward tuition gets me closer to a fuller menu, and a bigger future for this community.
The Goal
Every dollar gets me closer to the chair, licensed.
Tuition, kit fees, and state board exam costs — laid out honestly, funded together. Anything raised beyond the goal goes straight toward continuing education for the lab.

Choose an amount
Contributions are voluntary gifts toward Shawnie’s cosmetology education. No goods or services are provided in exchange, and contributions are not tax-deductible charitable donations.

Why This Matters
This isn’t just a class.
It’s the next chapter of the lab.
A cosmetology license means I can legally expand what happens in this chair — cuts, color, chemical services — without sending clients elsewhere. It’s the difference between “loc specialist” and full-service stylist, and it changes what this lab can become.
Licensed & Credentialed
State licensure means every service in the lab is backed by real training — not just years in the chair.
One Stop For Clients
No more referring clients out for a cut or color. Book once, leave fully done.
Building What's Next
This is step one toward the salon suite, the product line, and the classes I want to teach.
Thank You
Every name here got me closer.
