About Damasc…Damasc has five locations in Georgia, conveniently located to serve Georgia’s aspiring Cosmetologist, Make-up artist,
Estheticians, and Nail Technicians.
Locations: Albany, Ga. Bainbridge, Ga. Brunswick, Ga. Monticello, Ga. Richmond Hill, Ga.
Our Business Organization
Damasc is a Limited Liability Partnership, owned by Cosmetology Instructors and Master Cosmetologists, Irene Myers Lavant, Shawnquita Buncom, Patrice Woodie Mitchell, and Faye Cooper.
Limited Liability Partnership: With this structure, each owner of the school is responsible for their own malpractices, not the mistakes made by the other partners. All of the partners together are liable for all other types of school related liabilities.
Our Business Culture
Our culture is a “Success Culture”.
This company values the continued success of each student and employee through education, counsel, and support.
The company believes in that each student and employee should have the opportunity to obtain success regardless of race, sex, religion, creed, etc.
The company, regardless of which school is represented within the five locations, will uphold these beliefs and values. It is understood that when there unity across the board, there is no room for dissention.
When it comes to success, Damasc will accept nothing less…
Our MotivationWith a company where every team member shares
the same values, goals, and objective, success is only a matter of implementation.

Our Motivation…Through Damasc’s Labor Relations Policy, we encourage employees to
help make recommendations and influence policy through feedback. By allowing the employees feedback and interaction, the employees
will take more of an ownership position within the company. This will make their actions and efforts more meaningful; thereby, improving work quality,
productivity, and the overall work environment.
Damasc will address potential and real issues by utilizing a review process, which finds areas where each employee has weaknesses or strengths. This will make sure that employees are given suggestions for improvement, taught ways to increase performance, assigned or reassigned to the suitable departments, and phased out only if necessary.
Damasc’s Performance Management Process ensures that employees will gain a sense of confidence knowing their company is willing to work with the employees to improve their performance and address work issues. The effect will result in employees that are loyal, hard working, skilled, and content.
Human Resource Management
The Human Resource (HR) Department at Damasc will address the following:
Hiring highly motivated and qualified employees. Managing employee reviews. Addressing payroll/benefits issues. Implementing counseling, training, and
motivational sessions. Collecting and analyzing employee feedback.
Our Human Resources
At Damasc, our goal in Human Resource Management is to ensure the success and contentment of our employees.
We feel our benefits are a big motivator.
Benefits include: •2 weeks paid vacation yearly, 3 weeks vacation after 3 years.•10 unpaid sick leave/personal leave days per year.•Affordable medical, dental and hospitalization packages for individuals and families.•Up to $1,000 per year paid continuing cosmetology education for instructors. •Up to $500 - $1,000 per year for all other employee training/education.
TechnologyAt Damasc, we are utilizing the latest in
technology. With services available to the employees and students, such as Wi-Fi, LED computer compatible projectors, Fiber optic
computer connections, and Peer-to-Peer Networking, Damasc is ahead of many other
Cosmetology Schools .
Employees can use this technology to:
•Maximize performance training.•Confer with other employees in-house.•Teach students using the internet.•Project content from websites and hard drives or classroom use.•Develop communications, learning materials, and lesson plans.
Operations and Materials Management
The goal of Damasc is to have the highest productivity of each employee and student, but with the lowest cost
possible. This will keep the school affordable for students wishing to attend. The best way to achieve this is to keep
the track of the cost affected by OMM (Operations and Materials Management).
These costs are related to the cost of beauty school supplies, school overhead, labor expenses, holding of
inventory (textbooks, chemicals, equipment, and teaching aids) and the final product, which in Damasc’s case are satisfied, paying clients and highly skilled and trained
graduating cosmetologists!

This is an example of Damasc’s OMM using data from the past four years.
