Choosing a Beauty College ? Beauty, Health and Fitness

Congratulations! You?ve made the decision and you are going to beauty school to become a hairdresser. It is one of the hottest jobs with opportunities abound. No matter what the economic outlook is for businesses, everyone will still want to look and feel their best. Full time or part time, cosmologists are always in demand across the country.

What should you expect from your new school?

Firstly, look for a school that is accredited. Students in beauty schools learn the basic procedures of hair cutting, hair coloring, and styling. A student learns through the lectures, presentations from guest speakers, classroom training with hands on exams and hands on clinic hours. The student may have morning lectures on the Barbering and Cosmetology Act, health and safety, hairstyling, permanent waving and chemical straightening, hair coloring and bleaching, hair cutting, scalp and hair treatments, manicure and pedicures. Learning also comes from beauty textbooks and presentations from guest speakers. Some school will help with finding the student hairdressing jobs.

What are the class schedules like? Do you prefer a variety of time options? Do they offer night classes or classes on the weekend to fit around your work schedule? Is the curriculum self-determined and will allow you to tailor yourself to the hairdresser you want to become, or is the class schedule set in stone?

Perhaps an Apprenticeship?

Apprenticeships in hairdressing allows a student to go to college classes once or twice a week, then spend the rest of the time working in a salon learning the necessary skills to qualify for each level of the National Vocational Qualifications. It takes one to five years to complete the hairdressing apprenticeships. This is another way to gain the knowledge for your hairdressing license and to build your own clientele at the same time. Choose a salon that you would like to work in, or perhaps salons were you are a customer. Wherever salon you choose make it one that you will be happy to spend the hours needed to pass all the qualification levels.

Questions for the Schools

It is always beneficial for one to talk to clients, graduates, and students. Ask about their satisfaction with services and programs, and also how experienced and qualified instructors are. Spending time at school and with staff and students is a great way to get a feel for the environment and ensure that it is a good fit.

Finally, students should inquire about career placement. What sort of career services are offered? How much hands on time does the program offer to help give students with experience? Look into the success rate of the programs, and whether the school has relationships with local salons and spas for students as well as graduates.
