THE MARGRET VINCI HELDT CREATIVITY IN HAIRDRESSING SCHOLARSHIP

To honor the memory of CC’s own Margaret Vinci Heldt, the creator of the iconic “Beehive” hairstyle that swept the fashion world in the 50s and 60s, this scholarship honors Margaret’s contribution to our organization and her lifelong commitment to help others through education. The funds are designated for advanced education in the art of hairstyling.

THE WOMAN CREDITED FOR CREATING THE FAMOUS BEEHIVE HAIRSTYLE BACK IN THE 1960S.
Margaret Vinci Heldt of Elmhurst, IL, was active with her professional association, Cosmetologists Chicago, for almost 80 years. She recently attended America’s Beauty Show in Chicago, to present the Margaret Vinci Heldt Creativity in Hairdressing Scholarship, and enjoyed every minute of the event, laughing and flirting with many of her dear friends.

A natural and talented competitor, Ms. Heldt won the National Coiffure Championship in 1954 and served as educator and mentor to scores of Chicago area hairstylists during her lifelong career, including such well-known creative stylists as Mario Tricoci, John Amico and Marty Rizzo.

“Margaret was a member and inspiration to Cosmetologists Chicago since 1938,” said Paul Dykstra, CEO, America’s Beauty Show by Cosmetologists Chicago. “We dedicated our 2010 America’s Beauty Show to Margaret—a hair stylist, fashion innovator, salon owner, educator, champion, member and dear, dear friend to many. We will continue to honor her for her love and devotion to her association, her profession and everyone who knew her.”

Throughout her career as a hairstylist, as owner of the successful Margaret Vinci Coiffures on Chicago’s Michigan Avenue and even in retirement, Margaret Vinci Heldt was beloved by all who knew her and continued to work diligently to promote and advance the profession of cosmetology.

THE LISA C. NEWMAN FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP

To honor the memory and contributions of Lisa C Newman, CC’s Marketing Director of more than 25 years, The Lisa C Newman Foundation Scholarship funds are designated for advanced study in any of the disciplines of cosmetology – hair, business/salon management, nails or skin.
