Who We Are & What We Do
The Goal: First impressions are made in the first 7 seconds... Our goal is to keep our clients in the interview until the 8th second.
Snips of Success provides professional pre-interview grooming services to disadvantaged job-seekers. We do this by partnering with job-placement programs to arrange services for their clients with our volunteer team of SOS-approved licensed beauty industry professionals.
