How Does Cosmetology Inspire Creativity?

While cosmetology聽is not a new field, it is growing. More opportunities are available for individuals to show off their abilities and creativity.

Now, you can help people across the globe see your imaginative ideas on display with the push of a button and without even leaving your bedroom in some cases.

The beauty industry is great for creative individuals because each client you meet is a new canvas on which to work. Not only will you get to hone your skills and explore the latest trends, but youl get to do so while making a difference in someone檚 life, leaving them with a look theyl love.

It檚 never been a better time to pursue a future in cosmetology! We offer hair extension courses to licensed cosmetologists to further their education. Get in touch with us and schedule a virtual tour to learn how you can start your cosmetology education.

What檚 Included in Our Course?

We strive to help prepare our students to create gorgeous looks with tape extensions. We choose to use these types of extensions because their company values are aligned with Aveda檚 mission.

Something else notable about VoMor hair extensions is that they are made from cuticle intact Remy hair, which means you can distinguish the root from the tip. This makes them last longer and helps prevent tangles and dry hair.

As part of our course, you can expect to learn how to:

  • Run a consultation to identify if hair extensions are the right option for your guest
  • Best match hair color to your guest檚 hair
  • Apply and remove the extensions
  • Cut your client檚 hair after applying extensions

With the right experience and education, it檚 possible to apply these hair extensions in as little as 15 minutes, which is an amazing value to our guests.

Advantages of Starting Now

There are plenty of opportunities that await you from taking a hair extensions course. By furthering your education, you can:

Expand Your Skill Set

Learning something new means you have more services you can offer. If you檙e starting out in a salon, you can add hair extensions on your resume. Want to open your own salon? An extra education in hair extensions can be another good service to provide.

VoMor hair extensions can only be applied and removed in a salon, providing a good opportunity to encourage your guests to come to their next appointment with you.

Save on Cost

When looking for opportunities to continue your education, options like these can save you money in the long run!

Provide a Service Your Guests Love

Hair extensions are a popular way to showcase longer or thicker hair. Some of the reasons is that they:

  • Don檛 cause hair damage
  • Don檛 fade
  • Look natural
  • Lasts six to eight weeks

VoMor hair extensions come in 35 colors to make it possible to match your natural hair color. After all, good hair extensions should look as natural as possible. But, if your guest is looking for a pop of color, hair extensions can provide a striking look without fading or damaging your natural hair.

Another perk of these hair extensions is they . You can even go swimming with these extensions! While extra care should be taken to make them last, you can still use shampoo, as long as you work the product in a downward motion. Conditioner can also be applied, as long as it檚 not applied directly to the bonds.

When caring for your new hair extensions, we recommend that you always use a loop or detangling brush. When using hot styling tools, use medium temperatures. And, if your extensions do come out, keep them and bring them to your next appointment.

Financial Aid for Beauty School Students /aveda-institute-tucson/financial-aid-for-beauty-school-students/ /aveda-institute-tucson/financial-aid-for-beauty-school-students/#respond Fri, 27 Sep 2019 10:00:25 +0000 https://inspiregre2dev.wpenginepowered.com/financial-aid-for-beauty-school-students/ At 黑料专区, we have many resources to help our students. One of our most valuable resources is our ability to offer financial aid to those who qualify. Read more to see how you can apply.

The post Financial Aid for Beauty School Students appeared first on Inspire Greatness.

Financial aid is available to those who qualify.

So you檙e wondering how you can pay for beauty school in an easy and efficient way? At our 黑料专区, we檝e got some simple tips on how you can apply for financial aid to get you started down the path of a beauty education. Check out how simple the process is and learn how to get started by filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA庐)!

What Is the FAFSA庐 and How Do I Complete It?

Beauty school students have a lot to learn as they make their journey towards becoming beauty professionals. Applying for student aid should be simple, so rather than stressing about having to pay for school, you can focus on your learning!

The first thing to understand is where you can get financial aid from. There are plenty of private scholarships that are offered to students, even scholarships for beauty school-specific students.

But there are other options too! Federal student loans could be a good option to help students pay for beauty school. FAFSA庐 stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid after all, so it’s completely free to fill out!

One of the most frequently asked questions about the FAFSA庐 is 淲here can I go to fill it out? The official website, , is the place to start your financial aid process. Keep in mind that if you are single and under the age of 24, your parents information is mandatory to complete it. If you are married and have dependents you are completely supporting on your own, you won檛 need your parents to fill out the FAFSA庐 form.

If you decided to start a FAFSA庐 application, youl need to create a FAFSA庐 ID and to provide basic demographics, your social security number, and a tax return for the previous year. To submit the FAFSA庐 youl most likely need the code to the school of your choice.

Here are the codes for each of our locations:

Denver – 041671
Phoenix – E40394
Provo – 040723
Tucson – 041945

Once it檚 all signed and completed then youl be finished until someone can review your application!

The nice thing about the FAFSA庐 is that it doesn檛 take very long to fill out and it檚 effortless. You can even fill it out on a on your phone.

What檚 the Process Like With Student Loans?

There are more ways to pay for school than scholarships and FAFSA庐 money. Student loans are a viable option as well when searching out ways to pay for schooling.

First, if someone decides to take out , there is a requirement that the student has to complete an and to receive their loans. Both only take about 30 minutes to complete.

Luckily, at 黑料专区, we have financial counselors who can review info about loans and give you more knowledge on interest rates, cost of living and what loans can look like in the end for you. The promissory note is a document that you sign promising that you will repay your loans when the time comes. Both actions are mandatory to be able to be eligible for student loans.

The End of a Beauty School Journey!

If you檙e accepted into beauty school, you can expect to complete exit counseling for your direct loan. You can log in to studentloans.gov with your id username and password. Select “exit counseling for undergraduate borrowers” and it can give you great information on repayment options, the total debt owed, your grace period and a loan servicer. If you have questions you can always contact your financial aid office.

Are You Looking Into Beginning an Education in Beauty?

There are a lot of secondary education options available out there, but there檚 nothing quite like an education and a potential career in beauty. If you are looking into a future of beauty, it檚 important to research beauty schools with extra opportunities and resources, like financial aid assistance! At all four of our 黑料专区 locations we offer financial aid to those who qualify. See if you have what a beauty professional is made of and what kind of is best for you!

5 Steps You Should Take When Transferring Beauty Schools /blog/5-steps-when-transferring-beauty-schools/ /blog/5-steps-when-transferring-beauty-schools/#respond Tue, 28 May 2019 14:29:50 +0000 https://inspiregre2dev.wpenginepowered.com/5-steps-when-transferring-beauty-schools/ Thinking of transferring to a different beauty school? While it may seem hard, you can do it. All it takes are these five steps.

The post 5 Steps You Should Take When Transferring Beauty Schools appeared first on Inspire Greatness.

]]>
Sometimes your dream beauty school doesn檛 always turn out to be the one of your dreams. You may find yourself needing to transfer because it isn檛 the right fit for you or because of circumstances outside of your control. If you檙e looking to transfer to a different beauty school, here are five steps you can take to make the transfer process easier!

One: Explore Schools

Transferring to a different beauty school can feel like a fresh start, and sometimes youl have to go back to the basics: looking for the right place for you. If you檙e currently enrolled in a cosmetology program, make sure the one you檙e thinking about transferring to offers a cosmetology program. If you檙e in esthetics, make sure there檚 an esthetics program. That檚 often the first thing to do!

When looking for a new place, contact the admissions department. Theyl let you know:

  • How to apply
  • How to transfer hours
  • What documents you need from your previous school
  • Financial aid and scholarship opportunities
  • When the next classes start

Much like your first beauty education endeavor, you should schedule a tour to get to know the place you want to transfer to. See how the culture and facilities are different, and take the time you need to decide if it檚 the right fit for you.

Woman looking at phone and laughingTwo: Apply

Once you檝e picked the new program of your choice, it檚 time to start the application process. Youl want to work closely with the school to see what parts of the application process youl need to do and anything you should know as a transfer student.

Three: Get Everything You Need From Your Current School

Transferring isn檛 a matter of just choosing a different place and applying. Contact your current school to get the documentation your new choice needs to make the transfer easy. Youl often need:

  • Your transcript and hours they檝e reported to the state board
  • A list of any outstanding payment balances
  • A release from your previous school

This step is an absolute must! A transcript can help you get the most out of the work you檝e already put in. It makes it easier to verify how many hours you檝e already completed and how many you have left. However, just because you have the hours doesn檛 mean all hours will directly transfer.

At Inspire Greatness Aveda we cannot guarantee that any or all of your previously completed hours will transfer. However, we do look at each transfer on an individual basis to determine how many hours we can accept from your previous school. We檙e happy to work with you!

You should also expect to pay any outstanding balances with your current school before you can enroll somewhere else. If you are transferring because the institution you are currently enrolled in is closing, they may prorate the amount you owe based on how many hours you檝e already completed.

Four: Re-Apply for Financial Aid

Your federal financial aid doesn檛 automatically transfer when you move to a different place. Youl need to log into your account and add the appropriate school檚 code to transfer your application to your new choice.

Inspire Greatness Aveda has financial aid available to those who qualify. If you檙e transferring to one of our locations, youl need to add the school code of the one you檙e planning on transferring to on your application. Our codes are:

From there, your original financial aid should transfer, but you should work with the financial department at your new school to see if there are other steps you need to take.

Five: Believe in Yourself

It can be daunting to switch from one program to another, but you can do it! We檙e here to help you every step of the way. Here are some other things to keep in mind when you檙e thinking about transferring beauty school.

  • Keep in touch! Just because you檙e transferring doesn檛 mean you don檛 have to stop talking to the friends you檝e made at your current school.
  • Make new friends. New school, new opportunities to find people with the same interests as you. You can get to know some great new students.
  • Work closely with your advisors. We want to see you succeed in your future. If you have any questions about what you need to pursue an education in beauty, don檛 hesitate to ask!

10 Common Myths About Beauty School /cosmetology/10-common-misconceptions-about-beauty-school/ /cosmetology/10-common-misconceptions-about-beauty-school/#respond Tue, 30 Oct 2018 20:49:15 +0000 https://inspiregre2dev.wpenginepowered.com/10-common-misconceptions-about-beauty-school/ If you檙e thinking about attending beauty school, you檙e probably trying to find out everything you can. Read on to discover the truth about the 10 myths that we come across the most.

The post 10 Common Myths About Beauty School appeared first on Inspire Greatness.

]]>
Everyone comes to beauty school with a different story, a different background, and a different perspective. Which also means that no two students ever come to beauty with exactly the same idea about what to expect. When you檝e been working with students as long as we have, though, you start to hear a lot of the same myths over and over. Since many of these myths made students feel nervous to pursue beauty, we wanted to clear up ten of the most common myths we檝e heard about beauty school!

Myth 1: BEAUTY SCHOOL IS only FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NATURALLY GIFTED AT COSMETOLOGY.

This couldn檛 be further from the truth! Beauty school is where you go to learn about cosmetology. Whether you檝e been playing with and styling hair for years or are a novice interested in mastering hair, cosmetology school can be right for you. No matter your starting skill level, everyone has the opportunity to learn new things in beauty school.

Myth 2: BEAUTY SCHOOL IS Just FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.

It is not uncommon to see young high school graduates making up the majority of beauty school students, but there are also many beauty professionals who have started their careers later in life. Some people even get a decade or two into their careers before deciding that they want to join the beauty industry. Just take a look at our director Anne檚 beauty school journey. Beauty school is for people of all ages!

Myth 3: COSMETOLOGY IS 淛UST FOR WOMEN & BARBERING IS 淛UST FOR MEN.

While it is true that cosmetology classes are often mostly full of women and barbering classes are often mostly full of men, it檚 definitely not a rule. Regardless of what your gender is, you should absolutely choose the career you are interested in. Don檛 let anyone dictate what type of career is right for you, there are many talented male cosmetologists and female barbers in the world!

Myth 4: YOU DON橳 HAVE TO GO TO BEAUTY SCHOOL TO BECOME A COSMETOLOGIST.

There once was a time when you became a cosmetologist by getting a job at a salon and learning on the job. That was a long time ago. These days, though the laws regarding cosmetology licensure can vary between states, usually you need to get your cosmetology license to practice as a professional cosmetologist. Getting that license typically requires going to beauty school and passing a licensing exam. If you think about it, it makes sense that you would need to go to beauty school now, because cosmetology and skincare products are much more sophisticated and advanced than they once were. It takes dedicated learning to be able to use these products right, which is why attending beauty school is a must.

Myth 5: COSMETOLOGY CAREER OPTIONS ARE LIMITED.

It檚 common for people to think that all cosmetologists do is work behind the chair cutting hair after beauty school, but that檚 not true at all! Many people do enjoy working behind the chair as a stylist or in the spa as an esthetician and they choose to stay there for their whole career. For those who want their careers to take them somewhere else, beauty school can still help. As a beauty school graduate, you could:

  • Work as a platform artist.
  • Develop new beauty products.
  • Represent a beauty brand.
  • Own or manage a salon.
  • Specialize in your favorite treatment or service.
  • So much more.

Your career as a beauty professional is what you make of it, so dream big and do what you are excited and passionate about!

Myth 6: IT DOESN橳 MATTER WHICH COSMETOLOGY SCHOOL YOU ATTEND.

Most accredited cosmetology schools teach similar topics that are required by the state for preparation for the licensing exam, but that檚 where the similarities end. Each school can use different product partners, a unique culture, offer other additional training, certifications, and more. 黑料专区, for example, teach using the and being a part of the Aveda network can open opportunities a graduate from another school might not have. Be sure to tour the schools you are investigating to learn more about the culture and unique opportunities and courses from each.

Myth 7: BEAUTY SCHOOL IS EASIER/HARDER THAN TRADITIONAL SCHOOLING.

Here is the truth: Cosmetology school is different than traditional schooling. Most traditional schooling is all classroom learning. Beauty school is fairly unique because students begin in a classroom setting and transition into a hands-on environment. Many students who struggled in high school actually find that the hands-on approach in beauty school speaks more to their learning style, which makes the learning process easier for them. What is important to remember is that you really do get out of it what you put into it. If you want the most out of cosmetology school, be open to learning and trying new things.

Myth 8: BEAUTY SCHOOL IS TOO EXPENSIVE.

Cosmetology students come from many different backgrounds, and every school has different pricing, so 渆xpensive means different things for each student. This is why school accreditation is important. Accredited schools like ours can qualify for federal financial aid options for their students who qualify. That, and good schools generally have an admissions staff or advisor who can help make beauty school happen.

Myth 9: BEAUTY PROFESSIONALS DON橳 MAKE A LOT OF MONEY.

Similar to the myth about the limitation on career options, there are people who believe that beauty professionals don檛 make much money. The truth is that cosmetologists have a great deal of freedom to control how much they earn. There are some people who want to become cosmetologists so they can work a few hours a week to help make ends meet, while others really hustle and spend most days working with clients from sun up until sun down. What you make is determined by how hard you檙e willing to work and how well you can build your clients, as well as what you do with your education after beauty school. Attending different courses throughout beauty school will also open additional avenues of making money.

Myth 10: YOU HAVE TO BE CREATIVE TO GO TO BEAUTY SCHOOL.

Beauty school is home to all kinds of thinkers and personality types! Cosmetology allows people to choose things they are good at and specialize in them, which means that if you are a creative, colorful, and artistic individual, you can specialize in hair color and spend your career working creatively. You can also spend your time doing updos, working on the runway, or specializing in vibrant colors and trending hairstyles. If you檙e more logical and structured, you could specialize in something like eyelash extensions or classic haircuts where creativity doesn檛 play as much of a role. Beauty school offers so much to students, so you can find something that resonates with who you are! Wondering if your personality is fit for cosmetology? Take our quiz to find out!

Choosing a Beauty School

Beauty school takes dedication and hard work, but when you attend the right school, it can be a great experience! Being successful after graduation requires sharp skills and hard work. You want to make sure you select a beauty school that provides both the program you want and the support you need to be successful after graduation. Make sure the schools you look at offer the required hours to be eligible for state licensure. Also look for ways that the school goes above and beyond for their students.

A good example is the Aveda Institute Denver. Not only do we help our students meet the program hour requirements to take the licensing exam, we also provide extracurricular opportunities to help give our students get an edge on their careers.

We take some of our students to Fashion Week in London and New York, the North American Hairstyling Awards competition, and even study abroad experiences in places like India! We also provide financial aid to those who qualify. Look for things like this in your beauty school program to get the most out of your educational experience!

Complete Your Program

Depending on the program you檙e interested in, you may need to fulfill different program hour requirements. The number of clock hours you need to fulfill can vary depending on the program you檙e interested in, and also by state! Check to make sure the program you plan to attend can provide enough clock hours to meet the requirements of the state you want to work in. Here are the requirements for the licenses available in Colorado:

The licenses above are all of the ones available in Colorado, and Aveda Institute Denver offers courses for cosmetology, barbering, hairstyling, esthiology, and massage therapy.

You can look at your school檚 program catalog to see a breakdown of how your program hours are distributed. The 1500 hours for cosmetology aren檛 just hours you spend in the building, it檚 the time you have to put towards advancing your professional skills, and your school will help with that along the way! Youl need to meet your minimum number of clock hours, which are the total number of hours per week you spend attending class or other instructional activities that count towards completing the program.

The number of months it takes to finish one of these programs can vary. If you are on a full-time schedule, you can often finish certain programs in several months, while part-time programs can take a year or more depending on the requirements. Consult with an admissions representative to find a schedule that works best for your needs!

Take the Licensing Exam

The last step in your journey to become a licensed beauty professional is to sit for the licensing exam for your chosen program. Your school should help you prepare for the exam and help you with steps like scheduling a time and place. In Colorado, licensing exams are administered by PSI. You can visit for test prep, reference materials, and to register for an exam.
