The ceremony was held at the Atlanta City Detention Center.
20 Fulton County female inmates are housed, marking a significant milestone for the program’s participants as they gain skills to embark on new opportunities in the beauty and cosmetology industry beyond incarceration.
The Full Sircle Salon 360 program, under the visionary leadership of Ms. Lorene Shields-Robinson, is designed to empower women and men to reach their full potential.
FCSO said the program offers comprehensive training in makeup corrective application, preparation for the state board of cosmetology/barbering, and creative hair styling techniques.
“Our program has proven to help reduce the return of incarceration by 25% out of 50% because participants have found this program to be a pipeline back into society with hopes of pursuing a continued education process, a path they started with Full Sircle 360 of America,” says Ms. Shields-Robinson.
