Break the Cosmetology School Chain, or Join It?

Chain Cosmetology School or Boutique Beauty SchoolWhen deciding which beauty college to attend, one of the many factors you’ll consider is whether to choose a chain cosmetology school or a boutique beauty school. In this regard, cosmetology is much like other industries. Think about food. (I know that’s easy for everyone!) If you eat at a chain restaurant like TGIF, Panera or Chili’s, the menu and standards of service will be the same whether you go to the franchise a mile from your house or three states over. The decor will be similar, the wait staff will wear corporate colors and the prices will be comparable. If you try a restaurant that is not a franchise or part of a chain, everything about it will be more of a wild card. You may find a gem of a restaurant, with owners who greet you personally at your table and remember you next time. Or you may be disappointed and wish you’d gone with the sure bet.
 
Similarly, chain beauty schools are safe and reliable; you’re certain to get a solid beauty education. Another advantage is that if you want to relocate, you’ll have an easier time transferring all of your credits to a cosmetology school within the same company. But don’t overlook the boutique beauty schools, because you may find a perfect match for you, especially if you like the owner’s personal touch and a more intimate environment.

i ver much agree with you today and even though i think that the world today spends too much time on appearances and not enough on other things i very much enjoy doing hair and makeup. i love doing things for others and i worry when i do a friends hair or make up and they are going somewhere important because of natural skin flaws. but all we can do is do our best and hide the flaws the best we know how and learn from the ones around us.
