Four exceptional cosmetology students from Tricoci University of Beauty Culture's Chicago campuses have received highly-acclaimed Beacon Awards 2014 from the Professional Beauty Association (PBA).

The following three Chicago-based students were named as 2014 Beacon Winners, which is the very-best accolade: Joanna Feliciano (a student at Tricoci University's Bridgeview campus), Melissa Thompson (Peoria campus), and Tasneem Kassamali (Bridgeview campus). Hannah Clemens (Chicago North East campus) also received an honorable mention.

These award-winning students are now eligible to attend PBA Beauty Week in Las Vegas (July 12-15, 2014), where they will have the opportunity to meet some of the biggest names in the beauty industry and learn cutting-edge cosmetology techniques.

Brian Weed, CEO of Tricoci University of Beauty Culture, explains, "We are so proud of these students. Thousands of cosmetology students enter the Beacon competition every year, but only the very best are presented with an award or honorable mention. This is further evidence of what salons tell us - that our students are consistently the most 'salon-ready' among all beauty school graduates."
