Cosmetology Instructor

EST. 2015

Institute of Beauty and Wellness Milwaukee, Cosmetology Instructor, Michelle Mikula

Why did you choose the beauty & wellness industry?

I have always had a passion for the beauty industry since a young age. After spending 25 years behind the chair, I felt it was time to give back to the industry that I am so passionate about and decided to become an instructor. Throughout my 25 years, I have consistently worked with Aveda products, which made working at The Institute of Beauty and Wellness the perfect fit.

Why do you love to teach?

I love teaching and witnessing my students' learning and growth. My favorite part is observing how their skills improve during their time here. It's incredibly rewarding to see their careers flourishing after graduation.
