Toni Love's Training Center (Advanced Cosmetology Program and Basic Cosmetology Program)

Historical Sketch

Toni Love was introduced to the field of cosmetology at the age of fourteen by her mother. With no intentions of continuing, an interest sparked within and she started to explore and experiment. After receiving a cosmetology license, Toni went on to receive a Bachelor's Degree in Business (Management), and a Masters Degree in Continuing Education. She is currently pursuing a Educational Specialist degree. Toni also served in the U.S. Army Reserves.

In 1995, while teaching cosmetology (to high school and college students), an idea for a continuing education center was visualized. Being a person who has a genuine passion for the field of cosmetology, she knew more experience was needed. She went on to become a Platform Artist for Sally Beauty Company and Director of Continuing Education for Dudley Products.

In 2002, Toni decided to carry out her vision to create a center for cosmetologists in her home state of Alabama. The Center would become the only one of its kind in the state. Toni wants us all to know that: "IT'S ALL ABOUT EDUCATION!!"
