Are you stuck in a rut at your current job? Are you in high school and not planning on going to college but not serving burgers all your life? Then a job in the beauty industry is what you need. You may have to study after graduation, but it won't even come close to being boring like college. It will be a fun, rewarding and flexible study. Plus, you get paid to make people beautiful!

Steps

  1. 1 If you are still in school, find out if your school is affiliated with a vocational school. It is possible that you can devote most of the day to studying the profession of a stylist, and devote the rest of the time to your usual studies (mathematics, English, history). Plus, if you do this in high school, you can start working right after graduation.
  2. 2 If you have already graduated from school, look in your local newspapers for the contacts of training centers, or ask your personal master where she (he) studied. If possible, submit documents to several institutions.
  3. 3 Contact course representatives and schedule a consultation.
  4. 4 If accepted, register and attend classes. Some of them will be practical, others will be like in a regular educational institution.
  5. 5 After graduation, look for beauty parlors that require stylists. Submit your resume, do well in the interview, and maybe you will be accepted. Alternatively, you can open your own salon if you have enough money.
  6. 6 That's all.

Tips

  • Don't expect great success in the beginning. It takes time and constant work for the client.
  • If a client is unhappy with their haircut, always offer a tweak for free. Of course, this way you lose a certain amount, but you will retain a valuable client.
  • There is a lot of competition in the hairdressing industry. Don't be discouraged if you don't get hired on the first try, especially right after graduation.
  • Don't be discouraged if a regular customer leaves you. Don't take it as a personal insult, just forget about it and move on.

Warnings

  • Keep in mind that you will need to work hard. It is not just a substitute for a "real" profession; you need to study to become a hairdresser.
  • If you lack perfectionism and attention to detail, this work can be stressful for you. Hairdressing requires precision.
  • Prepare for the fact that, most likely, you will be asked to participate in "tests" in the classroom.
