Everything I learned in cosmetology school #cosmetologystudent #hairschool #beautyschool

Having licence may not be the most important thing but it gives you confidence you have the knowledge that's needed. And it gives your clients confidence to choose you as their stylist.

Cosmetology schools should definitely teach how to do Black hair, not just fine textures.

[kiwiscone]

in 2023 and textured hair still isn’t in standard cosmetology curriculum..

[ny_ah]

It’s sad they didn’t teach you anything about curly hair 😔

[nataliedejesus]

After I graduate I plan on going to a cosmetology school myself this just got me so excited!!! 🙌🙌🙌

Just fyi to anyone wanting to go to cosmetology school. The hardest part is the chemistry part. My mom is a cosmetologist and told me she had to study really hard and most people don’t pass the first time. You also have to learn out health and hygiene. How to treat infections, properly disinfect, and they changed this but you had to be tested for tuberculosis. Cosmetology is a lot more than just doing hair, nails, and makeup. Just and fyi it’s still very fun and worth it.

But they never teach stylists how to do natural hair. I’ve met hair stylists that don’t even understand how to properly style curly hair, nevermind 4c (or any type) hair

As a woman who has worked in a salon, and has a brother who has been a colorist for over 10 years— it SHOCKS me how little beauty school actually teaches students.
It’s a total scam.
Color theory is so poorly taught, along with accurately coloring different hair types— and the dangers of over processing.
It’s also extremely disheartening that beauty schools do not require learning about all types of hair, including textured hair. So upsetting.

So annoying that you’re paying for an education and they won’t even teach you to do different textured/ethnicity hair.

Edit: I’m not saying they don’t teach it anywhere 😂 y’all in the comments saying “um actually I at my school learned” good for you, I’m addressing this video above and the part two of this video that didn’t include any hair lol and he fact is that a lot of places in the US and especially the middle and northern states have maybe a couple days or minimal coverage at best. Not everywhere, maybe not YOUR school, because you’re a special snowflake, but too many when the number should be none.

Not to mention the makeup part is also lacking in some places because there are some folks who pass and graduate and know nothing about undertones and think just darker is all you need and ultimately make everyone look ashy or gray lol

[divergentpuff]

wow there’s so much diversity in hair textures at this school woooowww woww 😍

[abigailkuster]

It’s so Weird that everyone is saying it’s not standard to learn about natural/textured hair because I’m In cos school right now and it is required for us to learn things like relaxers, finger waves, braid ins, silk press, hot stoves…. We actually just took our GPX exam for relaxers, which is an exam required by the state. I will say I have excellent instructors that made it a priority and that can make a huge difference.

As someone with really really straight hair, it kinda rubs me the wrong way that there was not one thing learned about curly hair/ non Caucasian hair.
Like 3a all up to 4c curls are absolutely gorgeous and it should be learned how to treat/maintain/ cut them.

The extra fried golden and crispy hair shows how much these people used the mannequins to practice

[Beautiful_girl.]

When my mom went to hair school she said that when they where learning perms one of the girls mannequins started smoking and almost caught fire 🔥

[vanessayodog]

Thankful my cosmo school actually had a full class for curly and ethnic hair ❤️ honestly my favorite, I love me some curls

[NRH]

And they didn’t bother to teach anything about curly hair

[Rottenriaa.]

This is why I go to black hair salons that know how to deal with 4c 😭

[lil.spooky.pumpkin]

Graduated from cosmetology class in 2021, I miss it everyday. My instructors were amazing ladies

[hnyhrt]

Yes! 3a/b here. I can't tell you how many times I've gone to a salon for a trim and been told they don't know how to do my "type of hair."

[Tea-No-Not-The-Drink]

My cousin is in cosmetology school, been her dream but she’s never had the time. I’m really proud of her
