PLEASANT WAS EDUCATED IN NORTHAMPTON COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS. SHE CONFESSED TO CHRIST AND BECAME A MEMBER AT EBENEZER BAPTIST CHURCH. BECAUSE OF HER ZEST FOR KNOWLEDGE, SHE CONTINUED HER EDUCATION AT TIDEWATER INSTITUTE, COBBS STATION, VIRGINIA. PLEASANT WAS NOT CONTENT AND KNEW SHE HAD A KNACK FOR STYLING HAIR, THE NEXT DECISION WAS TO ATTEND COSMETOLOGY AND BEAUTY SCHOOL UNDER THE TUTELAGE OF MRS. SELMA UPSHUR.
