“I guess you can say I grew into liking and admiring cosmetology through my mother and sisters. My mother was a hairstylist and my sisters did nails. I really admired my mother and took a liking to cosmetology and was curious to learn. One day, my father gave us the news that we were all moving to Chicago and I was devastated! I left my school, my friends… everything! Life customs were different for me and my sisters in America. I had to start from scratch. We had no knowledge of the English language and in Mexico I was nearly done in high school. Since moving to Chicago, I set my sights on passing high school, knowing and learning very little English but still graduating with honors. I then got married at the age of 21 and received a lot support from my husband and family to go to Tricoci University. I applied and here I am. I have studied and worked very hard to be where I am at now. When I first started school, my goal was to earn my degree and luckily get a job in a salon like Mario Tricoci Salon and Spa, but it’s now to a point where my goals have gotten so much bigger than that. I want to open up my own salon with my sisters and I want to help instruct others students the in the art of cosmetology. This, for me, is not just a hobby or a gig. It’s truly a passion that I love.” – Karina Delatorre, Cosmetology student at Tricoci University’s Bridgeview campus
