Foster-Jones emphasized the gap in education, stating, "Of our 1,000 hours, we spend 700 of our hours on hair. So you mostly learn hair. Skin is there, nails [are] there... Just enough to pass your state exam." This signifies a crucial issue: the cosmetology curriculum overly prioritizes hair, leaving students underprepared in other areas like waxing, which is Foster-Jones's specialty.
Foster-Jones recalled her early inspirations saying, "I was a very young little girl, my mom was a community activist. She was very involved with the community. But I've always loved teaching and sharing." This highlights her deep-rooted passion for community engagement and supporting the next generation of beauty professionals.
Speaking about her collaboration with students, Foster-Jones noted, "I go through [the] breakdown [of] each part of the appearance of [the] enhancement license to show them what it would take and how long they can get there." This reflects her commitment to thorough education and mentorship, aiming to empower young aspiring estheticians.
