Meet Beauty School Graduate Krissy Simmons

Published: June 19, 2008

I like to bring you real-life stories of beauty school students and graduates, so today I’m introducing Krissy Simmons, who just graduated from CHIC University of Cosmetology an Empire School in Portage, Michigan, and has agreed to be featured here from time to time. Krissy calls this period of her life, “A Beginning to a Successful Career.” I don’t know Krissy very well, but I have a feeling she’s not being overly optimistic. I have no doubt that her career will soar.

I asked Krissy to explain why she decided to become a cosmetologist to begin with. It turns out that this was a snap decision. She saw someone with a really cute hair cut, decided she had to have it herself and made a beeline to her salon to have her shoulder-length-plus hair lopped down to a chin-length, spiky-back style—what she describes as “short, spiky and funky, very much suitable for my personality. I loved it!”

She was already one of those girls who go around highlighting and fixing their friends’ hair. But that one defining moment of receiving a great new look is what really turned her on to cosmetology school. “I told my good friend that I was thinking seriously about going to beauty school. Yes, I had been thinking about it ‘seriously’ for only three hours, but it was something that just clicked. I knew I wanted it more than anything!” Two days later, she was enrolled as a CHIC student. In a later post, Krissy will share more.

The only problem that I have as a person that wants to attend a beauty school, but I can't afford it because the only school within an hour of where I live is not accredited and I can't come up with the money to go. I want to do this but money stands in the way. So I lose out and con't go!
