When the Harrisburg School District decided to send cosmetology students to Dauphin County Technical School, Harrisburg was left with no public or private cosmetology institution. Samette and Curtis George, prior owners and teachers of the “Play it Again Sam” three-salon chain decided it was time to open a cosmetology academy in the Harrisburg area.  With over 25 years of experience in the field of cosmetology, Samette and Curtis George felt they could assist in cultivating future leaders in the industry through the establishment of the academy.
