❄️👑 Princess Spa Day: The Snow Ball Edition was pure magic!
Our Cosmetology students transformed the VMHS salon into a winter wonderland—frosty glam, sparkly hairstyles, shimmering makeup, and mini manis fit for royalty.
This tradition keeps getting better every year, and we’re so proud of the skill, care, and creativity our students poured into making this day unforgettable for our young guests. 💅✨
