Q&A

You don’t want to enroll thinking you’ll be attending an esthetics program that doesn’t exist!

Make sure the school offers the program you’re interested in before you get too attached to the idea of attending.

Once you know the school offers your program, ask what courses you’ll need to take to complete it. This will give you a good idea of what you’ll be learning, and how in-depth your education at the school will be in the end.

And again, if your heart is set on a specific course, you’ll know whether or not this school provides it!

It’s extremely important to find out whether or not the school is accredited before you enroll. Accredited schools meet national education standards, while a non-accredited school may or may not do so.

Beauty schools don’t have to be accredited, but accredited schools are usually your better option. This is because accredited beauty schools typically offer a better education and open up more job opportunities to students after graduation.

In addition, only accredited schools offer student loans.

You should also keep in mind that if you attend an unaccredited school, then later pursue further education at an accredited school, your previous education won’t be counted.

This means that, in order to attend an accredited school, you’d have to start back at the beginning.

You can also check whether or not a school is accredited by searching here.

Everyone learns differently, which is why you need to know if the beauty school you’re looking at matches your learning style.

For example, Tricoci University describes their teaching technique as covering fewer product brands, in a more in-depth way. This might sound great to you, or maybe you’re someone who prefers to learn about a higher volume of products.

There are all sorts of variables like this. Even if a school is wonderful, that doesn’t make it the right choice for you.

You want a high-quality education, of course! But if their teaching methods don’t suit your needs, it’s alright to walk away and look somewhere else.

Practicing on mannequins can teach you a lot, but eventually, you’ll want to practice your skills on real people. See if the school offers this before you enroll.

Practicing on real people can teach you a variety of skills mannequins can’t, such as customer service. Mannequins don’t talk back, and they don’t tell you if you’re pulling their hair or applying makeup too roughly!

You should know your state’s laws before you tour any beauty schools, but sometimes a particular beauty school may have extra requirements you must fulfill before enrolling.

Make sure you either meet them all or can meet them before you begin.
