I was thinking of earning a cosmetology license to get me a somewhat of a stable job while I go through college. Im really in need of money cuz I do pay for everything, no financial aid whatsoever. I figured Being 20 and having a little small part-time retail job won't take care of my bills. Well anyway, I was just wondering what's it like working at a salon?? how does the whole money go? I really get real sensitive when it comes to pleasing customers...I was wondering if u think i should pursue a certificate in cosmetology? what other jobs could I get??

Careers in hairdressing
A high school student who wishes to become a hairdresser should study a broad range of subjects, including the arts, biology, and psychology. Courses in the arts help develop creativity and artistic ability. Biology courses aid in understanding the structure and growth of the hair. A knowledge of psychology helps in dealing with people.
A student may attend a professional hairdressing school or serve an apprenticeship under an established hairdresser. Most European hairdressers serve an apprenticeship. In the United States, most students take a 6- or 12-month course at a state-licensed cosmetology school. They learn to shampoo, cut, color, style, and straighten and permanent-wave hair. They also learn to give manicures, scalp and facial treatments, and advice on makeup. Many students also take courses in the treatment of disorders of the hair and scalp.
All the states require hairdressers to have a license. State boards of cosmetology establish licensing requirements, which vary from state to state.
The chief professional associations for hairdressers in the United States are the Associated Master Barbers and Beauticians of America, the National Beauty Culturists' League, and the National Hairdressers and Cosmetologists Association. Major professional publications for hairdressers include American Hairdresser/Salon Owner, Beauty World, The Hairstylist, Journeyman Barber and Beauty Culture, and Modern Salon Magazine.

I went to school and the best way to make money is to get your own shop. a small little space, rents only round 300.00 or so and it absorbs a lotta time. I think if you like it you will be good at it. Every one loves a small shop, the bigger ones, like SuperCuts, MasterCuts, Smart Style, Regis, all are owned by the same company. In other words, you will never make good money there. They are not worried about you making it in the world today. If you need a good job you can be a shampoo girl by filling out the apprenticeship program. A salon just has to help you fill out the paperwork. A very busy salon would welcome you, and you'd have time to check out the ins and outs of salons.a salon owned by an indivudal not a corporation. You could continue to go to college and get a real education. Hair is a cut throat type business. Good luck

defintely for her not doing a sturdy interest, whether you have purple or pink or black hair, in case you ask to get your hair a particular color, it might pop out with atleast some noticable replace. she of course didnt do a gratifying interest for you and easily mentioned omg its eye-catching as a results of fact she needs her funds. i could bypass lower back and demanda refund or atleast make her restoration it.
