Considering becoming an esthetician OR a cosmetologist... what are the steps I would need to take?

Question

In case it matters, I have a 4-year university degree already.
Thank you. :)

I didn't mean I had a degree in cosmetology already; I have a BA at a 4-year university, unrelated to cosmetology.

Thanks to answerer #2... super-helpful! =)

Answer 1

First do your research. Contact local beauty schools, or you local vocational schools. Some will offer both some will not. Ask the director of the school for a tour and see if you can spend the day there, half in the classroom and the other half in the clinic area. After visiting several schools, decide weather or not its something you really want to do! Good Luck

Answer 2

you know waht.. things that are awkward to you are not usually awkward to anyone else! i am the same way! i think everything is awkward but then i'd be like 'that's awkward' and whoever i said it to is like 'no it's not..'. haha. and then it's way less awkward to me because usually things are just awkward because i feel like other people are awkward. but if i knew they weren't at all then i would be just fine. SO yeah.. just keep telling yoruself that she is totally comfortable and it'll help you relax. that or you could just make out becaue then there is nothing awkard! especially if the awkwardness is caused by the fact you want to make out. even if it's not then you avoid all the little actions the little things and the conversatino. another thing that will help alleviate any awkward, is if your'e doing something. like playing nintendo or watching a movie or even if you just have something playing in the background. i have a picture slideshow as my desktop so if someone drops by and nothing is going on the pictures are there as an icebreaker or a convo filler. and, perhaps the best advice, take a few shots! alcohol will relax you completely and remove inhibition and you won't feel awkward at all. now that i'm not pregnant and 21 i'm going to start drinking at some family functions.. not to get drunk or anything just to loosen up.
