  1. Choose the right beauty school: Find a school that teaches more than just the Milady Standard Cosmetology. Look for a school run by and employing current successful career hair artists.
  2. Cost: Look for a school that can put you in touch with private lenders who specialize in private student loans.
  3. Judge by the tool kit: If the school doesn’t provide you with the highest quality tool kit, then you can bet they won’t provide you with the highest quality training either.
  4. Develop a portfolio. All hairdressers can benefit from a professional portfolio that showcases their best work. Hairdressers should begin compiling their portfolio while in school.
  5. Completion of a state-licensed hair design training program.
