Are their in state and out of state tuition costs for beauty/cosmetology school?

I am from Michigan but am thinking about moving to Georgia really soon. I was just wondering if beauty/cosmetology schools have in state and out of state tuition costs like colleges and universities? Please tell me!





Also... I want to go to a good one such as Tigi, Douglas J Aveda or Paul Mitchell... If you know of any other good ones in the Atlanta area, please let me know. I will NOT start off working at Boric's or Fantastic Sam's.Are their in state and out of state tuition costs for beauty/cosmetology school?
Most of that last answer is absolute nonsense!! True, you don't get advanced training in beauty school. Some schools actually have good teachers and good color programs...I have some friends that teach at schools in CA. You are smart to not want to work at a chain salon! And you shouldn't think you have to. Try to find a salon, with a good reputation, that has an extensive training program. It's a lot more learning and training but it's far more advanced than cosmetology school. That's how I started out and it was hard work because you're usually an assistant to a stylist but it's so beneficial in the long run!





Also, check into cosmetology programs at local community colleges....it might be cheaper. You really want to get your experience at a salon so I wouldn't be too worried about choosing ';the best'; school. After you graduate try to get a job assisting a stylist at a successful, established salon. You will learn so much more!! And don't worry if you don't use a ';foil board';....nobody that is good at color does anymore :)Are their in state and out of state tuition costs for beauty/cosmetology school?
I don't think so because its not a public school (part of the state)
Well I hate to break it to you, but franchise salons are the only ones that will hire you when you graduate. In cosmetology school you learn the very basics, you don't learn to use a foil board for example, something that almost all stylists do. Also, whatever state you go to school in, that is where you have to work, cosmetology is state regulated, and all states have different requirements. If you want to transfer you may have to go back to school for up to a year and take your boards over again. If you want to really be good, go to Iowa, they have the most hours and strictest requirements in the United States. They take continuing education even afterward to keep it up. Their system is just better than the cosmetology education system anywhere else in the country. There is a standard text to which everyone in the United States takes their State Board exams, so I hate to break it to you, you learn the same thing from the same book from ever school in the United States, cosmetology school doesn't work like regular Universities. There is not in state and out of state tuition, by the way. When you graduate, you will have hardly any real experience, clients do not want you, so neither do salons. Aveda is supposed to be the best school in the country, I had my hair cut by an Aveda stylist and it was the worst haircut I ever got. Aveda and Paul Mitchell schools graduates work at Fantastic Sam's, sorry t burst your bubble. The key to actually learning a lot is going to hair shows and workshops, work for a while and go to master classes. I don't now where people get this idea that you know a lot after your graduate, school is mostly theory, you sit in class with your textbook and listen, and sit around waiting for people to show up who actually trust you to cut their hair, and in 10-15 months you really don't get hardly any experience coloring. Half of all cosmetology school graduates in the USA have done fewer than 5 colors when they graduate, you just don't get t do a lot, not many people trust students with color. I also have to warn you, most of what goes on in school is men's and kids cuts, because it is cheap and parents won't take those terrors anywhere else, oh yeah, and old ladies.
