Chris-Elle School of Cosmetology graduates class of 2026

The Chris-Elle School of Cosmetology officially graduated its Class of 2026, urging them to drive results with pace and purposeful action, at a colourful ceremony that marks a significant milestone for the institution and the burgeoning careers of its 40 graduates.

In an atmosphere filled with pride and reflection, the graduation ceremony served as both a celebration of academic achievement and a final induction into the professional world of beauty and wellness.

The Founder and Head of School, Christina Formedi, shared a heart-touching story that captured the very essence of what it means to drive results with pace.

Mrs. Formedi centred the story around the theme of the day: “Driving Results with Pace,” a dichotomy of the balance between professional urgency and human intention.

She illustrated that true pace is not about rushing, but about the rhythm of steady progress and the courage to show up for others. She emphasised that cosmetology is a profoundly personal profession, urging the graduates to let their speed be guided by compassion.

Mrs. Formedi challenged the new professionals to never stop learning, to prioritise self-care amid the demands of the trade, and to hold onto the humility and gratitude that marked their beginnings.

“Pace is not rushing; it is the rhythm of steady progress, the discipline of practice, and the courage to show up for someone else,” Mrs. Formedi told the graduands.

The call to purposeful action was amplified by Martha Acquah, a seasoned banker and entrepreneur, who delivered a pragmatic and motivational address focused on navigating the business landscape.

She challenged the new professionals not to look for comfort but to seize opportunities in unknown areas and strive for success.

Noting the stark reality that 92 percent of the 2.4 million registered businesses in Ghana operate in the informal sector, she posed a critical question for the graduates to ponder continuously: “How do you set yourself apart from all these other businesses or competitors?”

Ms. Acquah’s roadmap for distinction was clear, emphasising that driving results with pace is key, requiring a constant effort to work against time without being discouraged by roadblocks.

Success, she insisted, is built on setting targets, unwavering commitment and a dedication that goes beyond simple customer service to a deep concern for customer satisfaction and relationships.

The Chairperson for the occasion, Ing. Christian Agordah, challenged the graduands to live beyond the technical knowledge acquired in their training.

He framed cosmetology not merely as a skill but as a field for complete human learning, noting that every human being on earth requires something linked to it.

Ing. Agordah insisted that irrespective of the investment made in a business, without humility and service, clients simply would not stay.

Deputy Minister of Food and Agriculture and Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon, John Dumelo, delivered a frank and direct charge as the special guest.

He congratulated the graduands but was quick to underscore the seriousness of their chosen field, declaring: “The cosmetology industry is big business and you must take it seriously.”

The MP did not shy away from addressing a critical failure he has observed, stating plainly that the attitude of most ladies in the industry is very bad, with a distinct lack of customer care skills.

His challenge to the Class of 2026 was to be the difference, assuring them that a strong work ethic is vital for business growth; and that by setting themselves apart, they would see their businesses blossom.
