Reese recognized that the beauty industry would face an evolution of change.

Working with Legislature to re-assess the requirements for beauty education hour completion beginning at the high school level. This will offer more opportunity to the youth of Hawaii for longevity in the beauty industry, let alone the desire and motivation to complete and graduate high school.
