MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Heidi Pratt has worked in the cosmetology industry for 37 years, with extensive experience in cutting and coloring. From attending the Career College of Cosmetology in Yuba City at the beginning of her career to working day in and day out with clients in her chair, Heidi she is looking forward to bringing that same classroom learning and real life experience to her students. “I have loved being a hairdresser for so long. I enjoy making people laugh, smile and most of all feeling better leaving than they did walking in,” Heidi said. Heidi keeps up with trends and her own list of clients at Image Salon and Day Spa in Yuba City. And although this may feel like a busy schedule, Heidi says she is eager to work and teach about the industry she has loved for nearly four decades. “Being a part of this team has been and continues to be an amazing experience. I enjoy teaching,” explained Heidi. “From the interaction with students to watching them learn techniques and grow into more confident stylists, it’s incredibly rewarding.”
