A mannequin head for Marla to learn how to do hair

Posted Aug 28, 2024
Marla aspires to become a cosmetologist, and she would like to start learning basic skills now. She finds it difficult to find outlets that can help her manage her mental health, stay busy, and stay on track. Having this item could be a great distraction and a productive activity for Marla to engage in.

Marla is 13 years old and lives in FL

Marla has feelings of anxiety about school but has the resilience and motivation to move past it and give her best effort academically. She lives with her mother, two younger siblings, and her grandparents. Marla is a great big sister; she helps her mother often by looking after her younger siblings when she needs extra help. Marla enjoys coloring pages, nature, listening to music, and spending time with her best friend. Marla is also very funny and likes making people laugh. She shares that she wants to work with people when she grows up, preferably in the cosmetology field. She wants to learn how to style her hair and nails.
