Think… and start right was the phrase I used to close my previous article.
There, we got a taste of hairdressing.
We looked at 3 key elements of your character to choose hairdressing as a profession.
Your basic ingredients should be the following…
Patience, An open mind, An appetite for learning.
Once you have met the requirements and made up your mind it is time to choose a hairdressing school.
It is a very important choice!
You need to lay a solid foundation for a good professional start and an even better professional continuity.
Research
Start your research properly and methodically.
Get a list of all the hairdressing schools.
Contact us by phone and make an appointment to visit,
to talk and get information in person.
Get as much information as you can.
Get to know the people and the environment.
Avoid messaging through social, unless you want to make your appointment that way.
It is advisable to get the important information during your visit to the school.
I will not go into the financial issues because this is something that concerns each individual.
Of course you will ask about the cost after you have a good understanding of what you are paying for.
On this, I will point out 2 very important questions that you need to ask.
The SOS
α) Curriculum.
The curriculum is the subject matter you will be taught.
This is where you have to stand out.
Ask what you will learn during your studies.
It is the most basic!
It’s the foundations being laid for your professional start.
At first you may not fully grasp all that you are about to learn, but it is important to know.
You may be a little confused by the terminology you will hear because it is still unfamiliar to you. But don’t pass by.
It’s a key point for your research.
b) Professional rights.
Ask questions about your future. What you can and should do after you finish school to get professional rights.
The Super SOS question in this section concerns the professional licence. What experience is required and the number of credits to obtain the licence.
But you’ll tell me I haven’t started yet… I’m not even thinking about opening my own salon…
And I’ll tell you… eating makes you hungry…
Secure your professional future before you find obstacles in front of you.
What I am telling you is very little, I know… But it is very important to help you to lay a solid foundation for your new professional life, course and development.
I wish you a good career!
With love,
