We only use mannequins for perms relaxing and weaves. Because we are in Detroit pretty much all the students are there on a Pell grant so the school doesn't receive any funding until the students hit 500 hours therefore nobody has any tools to work with until we hit the 8 week mark. kinda sucks that things work out that way but it can be a good thing to have a strong understanding of bacteriology and sanitation before we service customers.
