Halfway Through Beauty School, Plans Can Change

Published: November 29, 2007

Maybe you’re stuck between enrolling in a massage therapy school or a nail technician school. Or perhaps you’ve chosen a large, general beauty school and can’t decide between the hair design curriculum and the esthetics program. If you’re on the fence like that, don’t let indecision paralyze you to the point that you don’t act at all. You’re better off choosing something and seeing how it goes. The worst that can happen is that you’ll end up with two licenses, and that’s not so bad!
Hair Design in Beauty School

Let’s take an example: you start at an electrolysis school only to discover that you really love make-up and want to switch to a professional make-up artist school. Once you’ve spent the money at the first school, you might as well finish and go for your electrolysis license. Then you can get a part-time job in electrolysis while you continue your make-up education.

If you’re not even leaning one way or the other, your best bet is to enter a general cosmetology program that includes classes in hair design, nails, esthetics and make-up, if your state’s laws allow that. A lot of cosmetology graduates eventually settle on one discipline, while others enjoy cosmetology careers that provide the variety of having clients coming in for all different services.
