Your career will occupy 1/3 rd of your life.
It should be fun, profitable, and secure.
Cosmetology definitely qualifies; but only if the training you receive provides you with the skills, knowledge, and attitude necessary to compete successfully.
And make no mistake, it is a competition. From the moment you walk into the State Board Testing Center - who will pass, and who will fail. Because somebody will fail. And probably a lot of somebodies. In fact, failure will claim approximately 1 out of every 3 test takers. That's a lot of somebodies. If you drive to the Testing Center with a friend who is also taking the exam (always a bad idea: what if they pass and you fail - how uncomfortable will that ride home be)?
The first priority, in fact the only real legal obligation, of any beauty school is to prepare students to take, and pass, their State Board Exam. Of course the better schools will attempt to do far more than prepare you for your exam, and some will actually succeed.
But many of the best schools often fail at their first priority. Yes that's right, the best schools. The ones with the best teachers, can become so focused on teaching you the highly specialized technical skills you will need to succeed in the industry, along with proper interviewing techniques to land that first job, as well as proper business management strategies so that you can one day own your own salon - these schools often fail to prepare you to pass your first hurdle - your State Board Examination.
Its' not that they set you up to fail.
They don't do it on purpose.
It just happens that way sometimes.
Learn everything you can about doing hair in school,
fail your exam,
and become the very best - unlicensed - nonworking stylist in town.
Don't let that happen to you.
There are a number of companies that specialize in helping you pass your exam, try one of them.
