For many, this was a novel experience, providing a sense of luxury and care that they cherished deeply. The students' attention to detail and warm interactions made the residents feel valued and celebrated.

The event not only benefited the residents but also enriched the students' educational journey. Aminat, Tashi, and Zahra gained practical experience, learning to adapt their skills to different needs and preferences. They also witnessed firsthand the positive influence of their work, reinforcing their passion for the beauty industry and their commitment to enhancing the lives of others.
