Why shouldn't she? The reason I ask is because I went to university right after I graduated HS because my mom was afraid that people would think I was a loser and by association she was a loser because I was JUST WORKING. As a result I went to college which I loved and wish I was still there. The problem was that I had no idea what I wanted to do for a career after graduating. I fudged something together, graduated with a BA and had to take a min. wage job as a cashier because my degree is useless without being followed by a masters degree.
After 2 yrs of cashiering I went to the tech school, learned a trade and got a job that I love and wouldn't trade for anything in the world. I think your daughter should do what she wants. If she works as a hairdresser she will be able to support herself. If she tires of her trade she can decide what she wants to do. I loved college but I feel that one should feel passionately about a career before they go to college. You learn so much more because you are really motivated to learn and are passionate about what you are learning.

Only if she has the resources behind her and drive and enthusiasm to become her own boss and open her own salon.
The wages are notoriously bad in the industry and will be kept even lower with the readily available supply of qualified eastern European hairdressers who are willing to come and work for what is basically minimum wage.
Its a good skill to learn but there is no future in working for someone else long term,certainly she must do it to train properly but then go it alone.
Good luck to her whatever she decides to do !

How interesting you should ask! I AM a hairdresser! And a darn good one at that....Let me tell you what it takes...PLENTY OF PERSONALITY-a fair amount of talent(it helps if she's artistic), confidence and some stamina to go with it! Does she have a burning desire or is it just something that sounds like a fun easy way to make a living? You gotta love it, you gotta have somewhat of an EYE-to see art and form-if not, you may scrape by but there is so much competition. I myself gross 3-500$ days. I LOVE IT. Good luck!

Absolutely. Yes. Without a doubt. There's loads of money in hairdressing and she'll be able to travel the world.
Plus - you'll get free haircuts for life! Need I say more??

studies have shown that people in jobs like hairdressing are actually happier than in other professions. It's something to do with having something small the work with, and when they finish the small job they are left with a sense of satisfaction and happiness... rather than working on a huge project that takes ages to finish. If she likes it, tell her to go for it!!!

No.......Dont let her......I am not saying its not a good job......its just you have to let her graduate High School first......and let her go to different proffessionals to talk to them about the salaries they make......let her try out some college classes..............if she thinks her lifestyle can survive on a hairdressers sallary then let....but let her do all of this...........through this process she will understand the importance of going to a regular college and why people pick thier careers

I was doing hair at 17 .My high school paid for half of the laon and I got credits at school for it.It doesnt mean that she still cant go to regular college too later.I did that for two years too.It might be a good experience for her

If that's what she wants to do, yes. You're lucky, my 18 year old son has no intention of getting a job any time soon so if your daughter is willing to get off her backside & do something, encourage her & let her know you are proud of her no matter what she decides to do.

Does she want to be a hairdresser?
Wouldn't you be better directing this question towards her?
