and an honest and valuable employee, skills that will help you

The lessons taught are also extremely beneficial to managers,
waitresses and novice bartenders. The course will leave you with
a thorough understanding of how the bar business works, the ethics of serving cocktails
and a common sense approach to bartending. Though liquor is not used in class, you will

Threading A to Z
If you have ever seen the threading technique in practice, you probably wondered how a
simple string can define beautifully arched eyebrows! No other eyebrow shaping method
can achieve the precision of threading, the most sought after eyebrow shaping method.
Almost overnight, this tradition, which dates back for centuries, has exploded as the latest
and best form of hair removal and eyebrow shaping. The demand for this
service is huge, but until now, this trade has been a well-kept secret, only available within
Middle Eastern and Indian communities; the rest of us were out of luck! That has all
changed now- the secret’s out! Threading A-Z is the first course of its kind, designed for
the novice student as well as the seasoned professional. You will learn how to remove even
the most course hair, as well as the fundamental technique for sculpting precisely defined
eyebrows, all while having fun! Fee includes $10 for materials.
