The requirements for becoming a licensed cosmetologist vary from state to state in the US. Many states require a minimum of 1200 to 1500 contact hours in school, during which time you learn not only the actual procedures for a variety of services, but the theory and science behind them as well. You may also be required to complete a certain amount of each service before you can graduate. In addition to the contact hours and services required for licensing, you may also be required to pass a written and practical examination by the state's licensing board. The services you will learn can vary greatly from school to school, but each school will at the very least teach you what you need to know to obtain your license. Some of the things you will learn are hair cutting, coloring, styling, curling, chemical hair relaxing, manicures and pedicures. You may also learn braiding techniques, extension techniques and a number of other creative skills to enhance your skill as a hairdresser. You can find a Cosmetology program at either a specialized private beauty school such as Mitchell's or at your local community college or trade school. Cosmetology school is hard work and requires dedication, passion and organization, but if you can make it through, you're well on your way to a great career in cosmetology!

my wife is currently in school for cosmetology. there are schools all over for this. some universities also offer a cosmetology course which usually takes a year and you get an associates degree. at other technical colleges you can get the proper training, that also take a year, to take the boards in your state which gives you a license. In school you learn everything from haircuts, nail, hair styles, coloring, and other things. I would check the universityor college near you, or go onlineand look for Paul Mitchell schools which are eveywhere. you. it is a good trade to learn even if you do not make a career out of it.

To be a cosmetologist...you must have a lot of patience, you must be organized and must be able to concentrate through loud blow dryer noises. Theres plenty of great schools you can go to out there for it. And I hope this will work for u!!

yes you so have to go to college to be a cosmotologist

1Find a trade school that specializes in offering cosmetology classes that cater specifically to beauticians. Some courses that are offered can span anywhere from nine months to two years. You can go to the National Accrediting Commission of Cosmetology Arts & Sciences website to perform a search of accredited schools to jump start your career.

2 Request federal and state financial aid to help pay for school. A high school diploma or GED is necessary to request financial aid.

Apply for a grant or scholarship. Everyone doesn't qualify for financial aid. If they are qualified then their award amount may not cover the full cost of tuition. Get a listing of schools that accept ACE grants at the Careers in Beauty website. The ACE grant was created to help those interested in the cosmetology field.

Check out The Education Resources Institute, Inc. They are a non-profit organization where you can request student loans.

Take a basic accounting course or business management class to help aid you in your business venture. Almost half of beauticians are self-employed; it will help in the long run to learn how to work with numbers.

Look at the licensing requirements listed for your state's board of cosmetology to ensure that you are covering all bases to become a beautician.

You must train with a reputable makeup academy as they will train you in all aspects of makeup application. Makeup artists should be trained in how to apply makeup for special occasions, fashion, theatrical and special effects. There are many aspects of makeup application including how to hide flaws as well as accentuating good features. You may be required to hide dark circles underneath eyes or bring out the colour of someones eyes. All this is taught at a good academy. Colours to choose, blending, the right foundation are all areas that are taught.

Obviously after this the best training is experience. Apply for as many fashion shows and big events as you possibly can. Ask all your friends to allow you to do their makeup.
