1923: CAPITOL BEAUTY SCHOOL WAS FOUNDED BY MRS. KAMRETH, ON CAPITOL AVENUE IN DOWNTOWN OMAHA, NEBRASKA — WITH THE GOAL OF PROVIDING QUALITY COSMETOLOGY EDUCATION IN OMAHA.

1957: MRS. VI STEHNO AND MS. AUDREY HUNT CONTINUED KAMRETH'S LEGACY AFTER PURCHASING THE SCHOOL IN PROVIDING OUTSTANDING IMPROVEMENTS.

THE SCHOOL GREW MORE SUCCESSFUL, MOVING TO A NEW LOCATION WITH UPDATED FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT.

1960'S: AS MOMENTUM GREW FOR THE SCHOOL, STEHNO AND HUNT BEGAN A NATIONWIDE SEARCH FOR THE NEXT INDIVIDUAL TO BUILD ON CAPITOL’S LEGACY. STEHNO AND HUNT’S NATIONWIDE SEARCH LED THEM BACK TO NEBRASKA WHERE THEY MET LYAL MCCAIG.

"MY PROFESSIONAL PATH HAS BEEN MORE REWARDING THAN I COULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED! I HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO INFLUENCE STATE LAWS, ACCREDITATION REGULATIONS AND MOST OF ALL, TO BE ABLE TO JUMPSTART THE CAREER OF THOUSANDS OF PROFESSIONALS. THE SATISFACTION THAT COMES WITH THAT CANNOT COMPARE WITH ANYTHING." 2007, LEGENDS OF HAIR ARTICLE, OMAHA PUBLICATIONS
