I have only trimmed my hair and used a cap to color ..so i am not too experienced, but am willing to see if i like it. so let me know what you think.

Answer 1

I'd say you're questions have ben answered in all phases but I want to add this:
Before you attempt the more business parts: start playing around with you're friends, doing different hair creations, color hair some, etc.. get a feel for it first, before spending the money & time required to be in school. Unless, you really love doing Hair, talking and listening all day to people, standing on you're feet (all day) eating lunch at a run, long hours,(you get my meaning?) This is a large part of being a PUBLIC SERVANT, yeah, that's right, we become like a private counselor as well, listening to other peoples problems all day long. (HOW IS THIS, FOR TELLING LIKE IT IS???)
If all this is not scaring you and you still love doing hair (love) is what's important or else you'll be just another Hairstylist, that puts in a day's work.
If you're still with me after all this: The money can be GREAT, CAN MAKE MANY GREAT FRIENDS, LEARN A LOT FROM YOU'RE CLIENTS, LOTS OF LAUGHTER OR TEARS, BE YOU'RE OWN BOSS, ( IT CAN BE A GREAT AND REWARDING PROFESSION)

Answer 2

Experience isn't necessary, but you will know if you are cut out for it within just a few weeks of training. People either have the skills or they don't.
My advice is, if you are interested in cosmetology because it's an "easy" way out, then you are getting into the wrong industry. True, it's only a year of school opposed to 4, but a lot of people who begin cosmetology training have no idea what they are getting themselves into. It is far from playing with hair all day. You will be taking chemistry, physiology, anatomy, and other sciences before you will even touch a mannequin, much less a human.
If you aren't scared away by all of this then go for it! And the only other piece of advice I have to offer you, search for an apprenticeship. You will have much more hands on training when you actually do begin cutting, coloring etc. Plus you will get paid by the hour to learn! Good luck, and I hope you are able to make the best decision for you!

Answer 3

If you have a strong desire to attend cosmetology school, then you should go for it. When I was in high school, I wanted to attend cosmetology school, but my parents couldn't afford to send me. This was many years ago, when the fee was only $500. I graduated from high school, got a job, & got married a few years later. I put my plans on the back burner, knowing that when the time was right, I would fulfill my dream. After my children were a little older, I quit my job, & attended cosmetology school. I was in seventh heaven, to finally be able to do what I'd wanted to do for many years & my family supported me completely. Nothing in cosmetology was hard for me. I took my book home with me nightly, to go over the material we covered that day. (Take notes daily, or highlight important items in your book) I loved going to school each day because everyday was a true learning experience. You will learn so much, not just about hair, but about your anatomy as well. You'll find your niche while in school, as everyone finds themselves particularly good at something, a natural talent, of sorts. You don't have to be experienced at anything when you enter cosmetology school, just having the enthusiasm & determination, is all you need. Everyone gets nervous about taking the State Board exam when your schooling is completed, but it's all just a review of what you learned while in school. If you fit the criteria, you can obtain a "student loan" or Pell grant, to finance your schooling. Give it a fair try & if it's not what you expected, & you don't want to continue, then at least you gave it your best shot. As the saying goes, nothing ventured, nothing gained. You can go on to work for someone else until at which time, you may want to branch out & open your own salon. You have to go back to school for your manager's license, but that doesn't take long. That's what I did & oh, the joys of owning your own salon. If you decide to go, good luck!!!
