I'm thinking of enrolling in a Beauty or Cosmetology School..... A little older than most, approaching 30 soon. I am looking to change careers and possibly start my own job. I would like to get some feed back regarding this career. Is it really something that you can learn, or do you have to born with these skills? Is it affordable? And if you started your own Business (Beauty Salon) was it too overwhelming or expensive, or do you just need a good loan and lots of fresh great ideas to attract customers.......Beauty/Cosmetology School ........?
If you have a legit interest and passion in the beauty industry - you have what it takes :)
Being older than the average student is a plus, because you will have more years of experience working with people, and clients tend to trust you more. An interesting fact we learned is that 50% + of your future clientele will be based on how you bond/interact and form relationships with your clients, and not your skills.
I wasn't a natural or born with skills, and most people aren't either. I had to work hard. Practice really makes perfect in this industry. It helps that I am a perfectionist and am really interested in beauty/fashion.
It is expensive. My school was 13 grand. Starting your own business would be expensive too, but you could always start a mobile business or run a small beauty shop out of your home.

Getting my own florida cosmetology license was one of the best thing that I did with my life. It made go into the world that I have long for. So, if you really want to be in this industry, what you need to decide on is which one will fit you most. A beauty or a cosmetology school?
