What Will Evergreen Beauty College Bring to the Yakima Community?

Evergreen Beauty College has built their brand by evolving and becoming a landmark in their location communities. Now the Trieu Family (Evergreen Beauty College) will be opening their 4th location at 401 N. 1st St, Yakima WA 98901. A little about Evergreen’s intention in Eastern Washington:

1. A Make-Up Artistry Program to Eastern Washington! Evergreen Beauty College started a few years ago a popular Make-Up Artistry program that did not exist in the Washington Community. Many students from Eastern Washington drove over to Western Washington to attend this program and now Evergreen will be bringing it to Yakima. The initial programs Evergreen will be offering and enrolling for in the Yakima location will be:
  - Cosmetology
  - Hair Design
  - Instructor Training
  - Make-Up Artistry – Level 1
2. Community Impact – In 2015, Seattle Business Magazine awarded Evergreen Beauty College the “Community Impact Award – Creation and Workforce Development”
  - Evergreen has been known for the job creation in the beauty industry through their training programs
  - Becoming a local community landmark has been the strategy for EBC. An example is their annual Bringing Beauty Back to School Event where they donate free haircuts for kids, skincare and nail services for families. In August of 2017, Evergreen students and staff donated nearly 1600 services for their local communities. Check out their facebook to see all the local events they host and involved with in their local communities.
3. A Positive Workplace Employment
  - Seattle Business Magazine as named Evergreen one of the Top 100 Best Companies to Work For 4 years in a row for employers in Washington State
  - It is simple and clear why this organization exist and why their employees do what they do: to build their lives through building the lives of their students.

Next class starts February 2018!

Why Yakima?

This story started about about 4 years ago. The Trieu Family was having dinner in at a conference in Arizona with the owner of a beauty school in Yakima. She was looking to retire at that time and wanted to keep her school running and owned by another family, therefore she reached out to the Trieu family.

At that time the Trieu family was opening their newest school in Renton and did not have the resources or energy to travel to the other side of the mountains. Sadly, about 2 years ago, a school in Yakima needed assistance in closing their doors and the Trieu Family traveled over to Yakima to see if they could help. At that point, Evergreen was not in a position to transition into the Yakima community. During that process, Mama Thi, Frank, Theresa and Joe fell in love with the family culture Yakima provided.

2 years later, the Trieu’s did not forget about Yakima and found an opportunity to come back to the community they once fell in love with. The Trieu family has been in the process of remodeling an older facility that once housed a beauty school that was around for over 30 years and will be cherishing the history of the landmark and adding the culture Evergreen Beauty College is known for in their local communities of Everett, Renton and now Yakima, Washington.
