Welcome!  My name is Rachel Halstead.  I teach High School Cosmetology; I began teaching career in 2007.  I started at a privately owned college, Texas College of Cosmetology and taught for that college until 2014.  In 2014 I started teaching the high school cosmetology program in San Angelo, Texas where I taught until 2020.  In 2020, during the pandemic I moved to Abilene and took over the AISD Cosmetology Department.     During my 35 years as a Cosmetologist I have owned and operated two Salons in Sweetwater Texas. Parents, if you have any questions about Cosmetology Program, or if your child thinks they want to be a cosmetologist or work in the beauty industry, I would love to talk with you. rachel.halstead@abileneisd.org 325-671-1731 ext. 2078
