Christina Cole

I've been in the beauty industry for over 25 years. After meeting Sam Villa in Lake Geneva in 2019 and seeing his passion for teaching I was inspired to go back to school in 2020 to pursue my instructor license. This is something I've wanted since I was 19 and finishing up cosmetology school. I feel the timing was right. I raised 2 children with my husband. They are now grown and I can give my students and career the attention it deserves. I have always had a passion for lifelong learning and love to share anything I learn with others. I am now happy to say I teach at a Sam Villa partner school and my students and I are inspired by watching SkillsUp every month.

I love to teach not only hands on skills but soft skills. I lead by example and run clinic as if I was a salon manager and my students are my team. When my students help each other succeed I am happiest. Seeing my class get creative during demos is the best feeling.

I am curious about being an Educator for a brand or platform work. I love the thought of teaching all over the country and sharing my passion.
