Beauty School-Cosmetology School?

I'm looking into going to beauty\cosmetology. What kind of training do you need to get? Can you make OK money if you own a salon?Beauty School-Cosmetology School?
It depends on what state you're in. In California where I am you have to do 1600 hours at a certified cosmetology school or program at a college, and pass the state exam. It also depends on what services you specialize in. It takes a lot of money to own a salon and time to build steady clientel. I suggest you work at a a la carte salon (like Great Clips) first and get more training and some work experience under your belt. It's a steady paycheck and you don't have to pay booth rental or pay for your own backbar. You can save money to eventually own your own salon and have work experience before you branch out on your own. If you are willing to work hard and bust your but to make a name for yourself, you can make excellent money. Positive attitude and professional appearance are key. Leave personal problems/life at the door, smile, make people feel welcome, don't get caught up in the salon gossip or he said she said bs and you'll be fine.Beauty School-Cosmetology School?
i went to college to get my training,but you have to be a high school graduate or have a GED to go to college.In Texas you have to have 1,000 hours..then you go to Austin to take your final text....i have made money just working for someone else in a shop.you can also rent a station in a salon which I did for 7 years,butyou will have to send and get a independant operators licence...if you do not ave a GED or graduated high school,you cangoto a brauty school,but you will get a better education in a college,plus you will gain college hours.When I took my trainig I got 33 college hours and made the deans list,and that does help you ore than you know,it opens a lot of ways to be eligible for other lines of work if you decide you don,t like doing hair,but I have always loved it.
