I’m always looking for places you can go for information about attending
beauty school or entering a
cosmetology career, and I just found a great one for you. (Yes, it’s free!) Go to the salon coaching site
www.crystalfocus.com and click on the “Wild Wednesdays” tab. Next, click on the “Upcoming Events” link and then on
Choose Your Career, Pick Your Path, set to air live this Wednesday, July 23, at 7pm eastern time. Fill out your email address, and Crystal Focus will send you a dial-in phone number and access code so you can listen to two interviews live over any phone.
The first interview is w
ith Jim Cox, executive director of the American Association of Cosmetology Schools. Jim will talk about all of the opportunities you’ll have as a professional cosmetologist—beyond just salon work. The second interview is with Paul Barry, who’s very active in staging student hair styling competitions so that you don’t have to wait until you graduate to show your talent. I’ve spoken with both Jim and Paul, and they have a lot of information to share!
I also was talking to the interviewer, Shelly Kovach, who explained that even if you miss the live broadcast you can hear the interview later over your computer or download it as a podcast. You can do the same with past “Wild Wednesday” broadcasts. While you might enjoy them, too, this week’s topic is specifically of interest to current and future
beauty school students. I hope you enjoy it!
