Shear Brilliance Institute of Hair Design

🎬 A NEW MFETV EPISODE IS NOW AVAILABLE!

Our latest MFETV episode features the Shear Brilliance Institute of Hair Design, and it represents something much bigger than hair.

It represents EDUCATION. SKILLS. CAREERS. ENTREPRENEURSHIP. OPPORTUNITY.

We believe education comes in many forms. Traditional college is one pathway—but it isn't the only pathway.

Whether you're pursuing a college degree, learning a trade, attending a technical school, mastering a skill, becoming a barber, stylist, technician, entrepreneur, or developing a career through hands-on training, education is about moving yourself to the next level.

At MFETV — March For Education TV, our purpose is to showcase the people, businesses, organizations, programs, and opportunities in our communities that reflect educational values, create opportunities, promote positivity, and contribute to the betterment of families.
