BEFORE YOU START COSMETOLOGY SCHOOL... WATCH THIS VIDEO!! | Beauty School Series

[@priscillanieto3322]

Cosmetology is my passion and I went through 1 1/2 years thinking teaching elementary school was. After substituting for a while I realized it was never my passion at all, I just picked it because it's the standard 4 year degree that I thought would make people I cared about proud vs. a trade school which people naturally look at as a lower end job. Now I'm on my way to start cosmetology school soon :)

[@TheDrivenBlackGirl]

Awww that's so awesome you finally decided to do it for you and no one else! It's such an awesome feeling and good luck with school, you will do great!! Thanks for watching! 💕

You’re awesome! Thanks for the honest information! I’m 48! Lol! I wanted to go to Cosmo school right after high school and my parents were very much against it at that time. I’m not getting any younger! I have a 15 year old daughter who is finally able to be more self sufficient and I am gonna follow my dream! The part that freaks me out is I am left handed and 48! However, life is too short to be floating around not living my dreams. Thank you for posting your great video. I will definitely subscribe to your channel, can’t wait to watch more of your great stuff. Keep shining your light! Best wishes on your path!

I finally start next week after 4 years of trying to get the time for cosmetology school. I’ve had family degrade me for wanting to do it and my dad always told me he didn’t care if I went to school for under water basket weaving as long as I get an education so I’m finally going it!!

[@kenziehyland5273]

everyone should learn as much as they can for life! I dont understand people with no drive to learn. you can learn almost anything online for free and cosmetology school isn't too expensive or that time consuming compared to other schooling. I think it would be more of a waste of time to go to law school. you can learn at the library, you can learn online, you can apply to work at a firm and ask questions while getting paid. law school is EXPENSIVE and LONG. if anyone is wanting to go to school for anything, they should learn online for free first! see if you like it, see if its too hard for you, and the only thing that will happen is you've learned something new, you can be ahead of the classes you might eventually take or they find out they dont like it and dont waste their time and money on something they dont love. ya never know what information youre gonna need and when. learning is important for everyone

[@TheDrivenBlackGirl]

I don't think I made it clear in the video the educator I had at the time was very rude and got annoyed when we did ask questions. A lot of people in my class felt the same way. Luckily she didn't last long there.

[@RosieBeckfoxyfoxfoxington]

She is not wrong about the girls and boys being at each other's throats. So much D R A M A !! I am the kind of person thats sensitive to those around me, empath, and no matter what I did, this was always an issue for me. I quit COS twice because of the teachers and student drama. You definitely want to get along with your classmatesand teachers because you'll see them for 8 plus hours a day for over a year like she says in this video, but it can quickly turn into a dreadful situation when you find yourself in the middle or on yhe bad side of someone. There are so many cliques that tend to form. O don't want to dicourage anyone but you have to have thick skin and a resilience to yourself to get past the stressful situations you'll find yourself in. The last time I tried COS, my best friend went with me and situations got so bad and stress that we don't even talk anymore. So no joke, you have to be mentally prepared for all of this. Its a fun and rewarding career, there are so many possibilities so don't be discouraged. I plan on going back to Paul Mitchell COS school in a few months on a part time, night class schedule. But I'm definitely going to watch my own back because no.one else will. It's a learning environment but remember it's also very competitive. I also hate to say it but watch your supplies closely. You pay for a kit but you're constantly buying and adding more to it. Supplies are very expensive and people would get caught stealing a lot. One more thing, per state bored requirements, at least in NC, I assume it's everywhere, you have to wear all black. Some schools give you scrubs to wear, I know at at Paul Mitchell school you wear black clothes. Any mishaps in dress code. You have to go home. You have to look like a COs student, hair makeup, has to look good or you go home and like stated in this video, hours are your holy grail to follow. You start missing minutes and your ass will be hounded by teachers till you make up for lost time. Good luck. 😄

[@camiller958]

I’ve become really passionate about doing cosmetology especially hair. I’ve been braiding my hair since I was 14 and straightening hair since I was 12 but I’m a junior now. I used to strongly want to be a pediatrician but have deviated from it. How can I explain to my mom about how I’d rather go into cosmetology school without her being upset. She’s always worried about salary but I know I can become successful in this field.

[@TheDrivenBlackGirl]

Awesome so glad you know what your passion is and now you want to pursue it. That's actually a great question and I will film a video on this. But in the mean time I suggest that you show her how passionate you are about it also make sure you have a plan to accomplish it once you tell her so she'll know you're serious. 💕

[@justkaylaplease1231]

I used to battle back and forth with myself on whether I could make just as much money as other careers and talking to seasoned cosmetologist helped. They all helped me to see that you can control your own career. You can become a salon owner, instructor, school owner, traveling stylist and more. There are cosmetologists out there that make millions every year. I’ve been braiding since I was 11 and when I took it serious, I made $1200 in 5 days just by braiding hair and my prices weren’t even that much. This field is where it’s at

[@RosieBeckfoxyfoxfoxington]

COS is extremely diverse, you set your mind to it, know the right people, work hard, you can make a huge amount in this field. Its always evolving, and you can constantly take classes to expand your career knowledge, go to shows and events as much as possible.

i love skin care and i've suffered with acne and things. i want to go for the skin beauty part. I want people to love their skin and feel confident in themselves.

[@DeJa2001]

I'm supposed to be starting cosmetology school on 21 of this month. Growing up I've always been interested in hair. When I was younger I would always style my dolls hair then, I eventually I started styling my own hair, then my big sister, my grandmother, my mother, etc. So, I know with the hands on I'm sure I'll be fast at learning that but my concerns is really about the chemistry that I'll learn. I know in public school you'll learn science but the thing is I've been homeschooled for most of my life (btw, it's not that we didn't learn science in homeschool it's just even with being homeschooled the science was still hard to understand) Only because me and my big sister learn differently than others and it took up alot longer to get things than others depending on what it is. Is the chemistry in cosmetology school hard? I guess it's different for everyone on rather it's hard or not. My program is 12 months so I know that 1 year would go by quickly. Another thing to that I didn't mention is that I know that taking notes of what the teacher says is important but when I think about notes I think about literally writing everything single word being said and I'm not even a fast writer 😆

I just dont want to waste money on something and then hate it :( my parents think i might not enjoy it because ive never been super into doing my own hair but i think thats mostly because i have very thick hair which is hard for me to deal with haha. I do really enjoy doing my makeup though!!

Similar situation, I am in school for Sociology and Childcare Education because thats what I am called to, but I put it to the side to finish later on in my life because I wanted to pursue Cosmetology because I am gifted in so many areas of beauty and I wanted to start my own small businesses on the future while licensed.

My daughter was so excited to go to cosmetology school and learn everything she could. She studies and does everything asked of her especially knowing she is paying for this schooling/education. Now that she’s in school her current instructor is not teaching them as she should. She’s very defensive, and hostile at times. She is hardly the role model her students can look up to . How do you report a bad instructor??? Help!!!

[@TheDrivenBlackGirl]

Aww no I’m so sad to hear she’s having to deal with that. It’s way too expensive to not get what you need from it. Maybe she can try talking to an administrator higher than the teacher, honestly. That’s unacceptable

[@veritoflores1646]

I have 2 weeks with this week that I started cosmetology and I have only seen the teacher 2 times, the classes are from Monday to Saturday, she leaves us homework to do, how am I supposed to do the work if I don't know anything, I have to ask the other students how to do it, that doesn't seem right to me, because we're supposed to be paying to learn, plus the owner doesn't have a secretary, he makes the students answer the phone, this school doesn't seem so professional to me, I'd like to change schools but how do I find another school that doesn't do the same as this school? My point of view is that not only the hours count, but learning every day counts too.

[@veritoflores1646]

In addition, they attend to clients, since the teacher is not at school, we are all students, but I think there should be a teacher at least supervising the work with the clients. These are things that as a student do not seem right to me.

Not sure of the schools in your area but most schools don’t just focus on sew ins. You will learn all aspects of the field. You may learn more about sew ins out of school.

[@lovebrittt]

Find a popular hairstylist that does sew ins in your area or on Instagram: many of them offer webinar courses or even one on one lessons. It can cost you anywhere from $100-$2000 but it would definitely be worth it. You will have to do that in addition to going to school and getting your license because you will be very limited in what you’re allowed to do legally without it.

I paid through financial aid and pell grant. Btw my school was over priced. It’s kind of a blur but I believe I applied in person and signed my life away! 😂 good luck on your journey 💕

You’re so welcome!

I have a question do you have to know how to do hair before going to the school?

[@TheDrivenBlackGirl]

I would say no but I feel like you should at least know a little to get you started. Practice makes perfect

[@promiseevans]

So do I have to learn how to do hair? I just want to be a makeup artist

[@TheDrivenBlackGirl]

At my school we learned everything. It depends on the school. If I was you I would consider esthetician school. There you go in depth about skincare

[@TheDrivenBlackGirl]

Not only would you be great doing makeup but you would also know how to treat people’s skin which they both hand in hand. Great skin is key for flawless makeup

I recently failed my test for entrances is there any tips on how I can pass it?

Hey yall

[@TheDrivenBlackGirl]

Hey!!

[@marlinpamba]

Are most schools the same? Like is there a school out there that is better at teaching how it work with black hair because that’s the demographic I want to work with after school.

[@TheDrivenBlackGirl]

You will learn the foundation of hair. 💕

When you do someone’s hair do you make money from it and if not how do u mange going to school and working

[@TheDrivenBlackGirl]

Are you talking about in school do you make money from taking clients ?

[@dezthebest6978]

Amplify Her Dream yeah

[@TheDrivenBlackGirl]

You can get tipped but no payment goes to you directly it goes to the school. I went to night school which was for 4 hours Monday-Thursday and and I worked before I went to school. Idk how I managed I just did it because it’s something I wanted to do.

[@diamoink7293]

Is cosmetology just majority hair and makeup?

[@janieshaj3640]

I was wondering this too~

[@TheDrivenBlackGirl]

Majority hair!

[@Jackjunkie]

Do a lot of straight guys go to cosmetology school?

[@TheDrivenBlackGirl]

It’s not a lot of guys that went to my school in general but there were a handful of guys.

[@brii2lovely902]

Is cosemotolgy hourly based or is it based on yours? My CNA license was hourly based not yours .

[@TheDrivenBlackGirl]

It’s hourly 💕

How many classes and years is it for cosmetology school?

[@TheDrivenBlackGirl]

Hey love! It all depends on what type of school you attend and if you do part time or full time. I went to a private beauty school, part time and it was just under 22 months. Full time was around 11 months.
