Student-Operated Businesses
Student Operated Businesses Expand the Learning Experience
Our students are able to take their education to the next level by working on patronage accounts, gaining real-world experience and expanding their skills. The following are businesses operated by students and accessible to the public.

Cosmetology students provide salon-quality services, from basic hair cuts to hair color and treatments. Nail services and facials are also available.

Please note:
The ultimate goal of these businesses are for the education of our students, so availability will vary based upon the educational needs and schedules.
Services are offered while school is in session, so school delays and cancellations will affect service availability.
Thank you for supporting our students at the Upper Valley Career Center!
