RENO — Milan Institute career schools recently presented a check for $6,739 to the Cut It Out program of the Salons Against Domestic Abuse Fund. The donation was the total revenue raised from all services performed at the 14 Milan Institute student salons and massage spas in California, Nevada, Idaho and Texas on May 17.

The Cut it Out program of the Salons Against Domestic Abuse Fund is dedicated to mobilizing salon professionals and others to fight domestic abuse in communities across the United States. Cut it Out builds awareness of domestic abuse through educational materials displayed in salons, the Adopt-a-Shelter initiative to involve salons in helping local domestic violence agencies and training salon professionals to recognize warning signs and safely refer clients to resources.

Currently, the Milan Institute Sparks campus offers programs in dental assisting, health care billing and coding, pharmaceutical technician and massage therapy. The Milan Institute of Cosmetology campus in Reno has accredited cosmetology and aesthetician programs available.
