Krissy Chooses Her Beauty School

Let’s pick up with the story of Krissy Simmons, who is graciously permitting me to chronicle her experiences as a student at CHIC University of Cosmetology an Empire School and a new professional cosmetologist. When we left off, she had just told her best friend that she had decided to enroll in beauty school. But which one? Krissy lives in Portage, Michigan, where she was working full-time at a hospital as a cardiac patient care assistant. She wanted to stay local while attending school.

“When I thought about enrolling in a school in Portage, I never thought of any school other than CHIC,” Krissy recalls. “I had a friend who was a current student there, and CHIC has a great reputation in Portage, so I was comfortable with the decision.”

On its website, CHIC lists these requirements for applying to the cosmetology program: be at least 16 years old; have a high school diploma, GED certificate or pass an Ability to Benefit Assessment Test; interview with a Career Planning Specialist; complete a student application. Krissy felt she could qualify. The next starting date was October, but that program was already full; the facility is new and attractive, so programs fill up quickly. Krissy had to wait until the January program to enroll, but she did get in. She knew she had to quit her full-time job and still come up with the tuition. Next time she’ll tell us how she managed to finance her beauty school education.
