TEENS CAN TEASE IT, TAME IT, TANGLE IT
Tranquility Design Academy Hosts Hair Styling Teen Night

MANASSAS, Va., -- Local teenagers are invited to join Manassas-based Tranquility Design Academy Teen Night featuring the latest trends on hair styles, make-up and fashion on Thurs., Feb. 28 from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Tranquility Design Academy at 10388 Festival Lane. Patrons are encouraged to bring a friend and receive great giveaways, like I-Pods and gift certificates. Haircuts are $35 per person (not including tax) and include a complimentary glamour shot, free make-up applications valued at $25, free hair styling and make-up tips from Tranquility Design Academy's team of stylists, as well as refreshments.

“Tranquility's Teen Night serves two purposes…it allows us to give back to our young community that is a big part of our clientele and our employment base and also helps open doors of opportunity to many teenagers that might be exploring a professional cosmetologist career,” said Gloria Harding, founder and owner of Tranquility Design Academy and Tranquility Day Spa and Salon. 

Tranquility Design Academy is noted for its creative 10-month teaching curriculum for future hair stylists by introducing students to a Fine Art Foundation Workshop that trains stylists to view clientele with the critical eye of an artist along with a creative edge. Not only does the academy focus on the basic foundations of cosmetology school, but more than 75 percent of its courses lead the trainees to harness their own positive energy, skills and talents to realize and maximize their full potential not only to be expert hair stylists, but as compassionate, caring human beings who have been taught to nurture their self-esteem and self-confidence. Harding is a firm believer in “paying it forward.”

“By teaching students to realize their own potential, we're teaching our stylists to realize the maximize potential of our clients, whether they need a great haircut, a soothing massage or a relaxing pedicure,” said Harding. “Excellent product and service is a given, but providing a deeper sense of healing and rejuvenation for our clients is the ultimate goal for Tranquility,” added Harding.

Tranquility Day Spa and Salon is located in Manassas, Va. at 10360 Portsmouth Rd. and in Haymarket, Va. at 15125 Washington Street, Suite 304. Founded on the belief that the highest calling of leadership is the growth and development of people, owners Gloria and Wayne Harding are celebrating 10 years of successful and compassionate service. Manassas-based Tranquility Design Academy (10388 Festival Lane) was established in 2007 and was created out of the vision to teach, lead and grow professional stylists to honor codes of professionalism, respect, integrity and compassion for their clientele through beauty.
