John Cook, Director - 
Growing up in a family full of hair designers, I was destined
to be in the profession in some way, shape or form. While
studying cosmetology, I worked in a full service salon. First
as a tech assistant, then after graduation as a stylist. After
a few years as a hair designer, I decided to focus my career in
cosmetology on the education side of this rewarding profession.
I started teaching cosmetology part-time, while still working
in the salon, all the while taking education classes at
Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, PA. As the industry
grew, as it does all the time, so did my classes, allowing me
to teach full-time. After years of experience in teaching
cosmetology, nail technology and skin care, I decided to focus
on the administrative end of cosmetology education. This has
brought me here to the Delaware Learning Institute of
Cosmetology as school director.
