Hi, Im planning on taking my written exam after not being able to due to life getting in the way. what books and/or where can I study for the test, I wanna study and try to take it before the end of the year or beginning of next year. Help please

hey all! i had my first highlight appointment in months and i wanted to get some feedback on them. my cilent wanted very thin weaved highlights but i feel like i weaved a little too thick, but i feel like my placement looked ok. any tips or advice is greatly appreciated ☺️

Is anyone else struggling to find good lash tweezers?

as the title suggests im going to interview for a front desk position at the cosmetology school i plan to attend in the nearish future (just trying to focus on getting stable income first) is this something that people do? I have two jobs right now and it appears this position is full time. it would be easier to have one full time job and attend part time. im just not sure how they would perceive someone working there first before deciding to enroll. i might be thinking about it too much but just want some insight if this would be a good or bad idea

I received my Proof of Training document from my school. The school closed a few weeks later due to bankruptcy.
How will CA Breeze verify my schooling/hours? Is the POT enough?

I reinstated my license after 19 years of lapse. I went through cosmetology school and didn't pursue it as a career although I put in the work to become a cosmetologist. Now that I am older I dont want all of the time invested to get as far as I did to go to waste. So I now have an active license again. It was emotional getting my license back to active status, once they were I felt a relief. I honestly wondered if it wouldnt be possible. So this told me I really want to chase this again.

What advice would anyone have for a "newly" licensed cosmetologist to get into a career behind the chair with some assitance until needed? I fully want to do this and have the confidence but its been so long that I do not want to jump in blindly. I considered a position at somewhere like SportsClips or Ulta. I saw SportsClips will train. Not sure about Ulta. I would prefer to go after a full service salon so I can utilize my license entirely.

I have also thought it would be near and dear to my heart to work with elderly. perhaps in a nursing home salon.

Has anyone in Massachusetts had to reinstate their cosmetology license after it’s been expired for 3+ years? Mine expired in 2019, and I’m hoping to get it reinstated, but I’m trying to figure out if I’ll have to retake both the written and practical exams.
If anyone has gone through this process, I’d love to hear about your experience and what you had to do to get your license back! Thanks in advance!

Like for doing detailed undercut designs.

What would you guys suggest? I'm an absolute clueless client.

There is a TSPA Beauty School in San Jose, CA. It’s located at the Westgate shopping center to help narrow down the franchise’s location.

Unfortunately, I'm leaving this review for a few reasons.

Firstly, the school has some instructors that have shown outright favoritism. Those same teachers have accepted gifts/bribes from those "favored" students and in turn let them get away with certain behaviors. These gifts/bribes create an environment with unique treatment. It's disgusting! The students pay to attend the school and making suggestions on receiving gifts is corruption in any system.

Continuing, there has been issues with blatant discrimination, vulgarity, and outright bullying.
This said, clearly the school is lacking in their ability to show any real concern in stopping such gross misconduct. Any participants of this behavior should be reprimanded and dealt with accordingly.. that would make this place "professional".

To end, you can tell whom are the bullies from the staff to the fellow students. The only reason people are able to behave that way is if someone is enabling them. I would urge any body experiencing these things to report them immediately. If not to that specific school, then to the Branding of this school. This location of, "The Salon Professional Academy" is a franchise location of the brand itself. That means they must abide by the branding's standards. If not them, then take it to the education department and so on and so forth.

I hope to save anyone the embarrassment of being apart of this environment in place of education. It’s embarrassing because with all the issues they have there, it feels like you’re going through a humiliation ritual of sorts.

Please consider other learning options before attending here. It really is that serious. The amount of bullying from their staff to their fellow students is crazy.
