Our Story

What Makes Us Different?

The state of Washington was the impetus for us to create Especially 4 You. After the State of Washington implemented the Practical Exam again, Sue May saw the need to help the future beauty trade professionals. Many licensing exam candidates were frustrated with how to set the kit up for ease and work-ability, not to mention understanding the nuances of the practical exam and the expectations.

Especially 4 You was born in June of 2005. Sue May spent 1.5 years in research, development and field testing to assist future beauty trade professionals taking the Washington State Practical exam. Through this experience we are able to co-ordinate and help licensing exam candidates throughout the United States.

In 2019 Sue May closed the brick and mortar location for Especially 4 You and began refining and focusing solely on exam coaching and specifically how to bring all of the knowledge to the future beauty trade professional through an on-line experience so as to be able to help an even greater amount of licensing exam candidates.
