Merrell University

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Student:
Merrell University of Beauty Arts and Science is a post secondary school providing education in
arts and sciences of cosmetology. The school is dedicated to “professional excellence” enabling
our graduates to be highly competitive in the job market. Our Instructors are licensed by the
Missouri State Board of Cosmetology and continuously keep abreast with the new trends and
products through educational seminars and workshops.
A skilled licensed cosmetologist has a large selection of professional avenues for personal
growth and success. The demand for hair stylists, platform artists, skin care specialists, sales
representatives and sculptured nail technicians continues to grow each year. A recent study
made by Clairol Company and released by the National Accrediting Commission of
Cosmetology Arts and Sciences found that presently there is a need for 40,000 additional
cosmetologists. Being an employee is only a portion of the job opportunities available in the
beauty business. In our free enterprise system there are unlimited opportunities for management
and ownership.
Training at Merrell University is comprehensive and complete while providing a balance of both
theory and practical skills of the business. In each of our programs our students learn through;
(a) Instructor demonstrations, (b) lectures on a wide range of subjects, and (c) actual practice of
techniques taught.
I am personally excited about having you join our fine student body. If you want to become a
professional cosmetologist, have visions for the future, and a strong desire to succeed, together
we will work toward the accomplishment of those goals. Your success is limited only to your
imagination and your willingness to work hard.
Sincerely,
Marilyn Sharp
President
