Shassity’s getting the gang together again hosting an informal cosmetology class reunion.    Though no one can seem to remember exactly when they graduated, they all agree  on two things: that they were the top of their class at Aveda and that looking back, it was their determination and drive that got them where they are today.   Listen in to hear their conversation reminiscing on their initial perceptions of each other, how they’ve progressed in their businesses over the last 13-ish years, and if they’d do it all over again.
