Based on your post, there are so many cool facts, terms, skills, and techniques that one must master in order to be a successful cosmetologist. Thank you for sharing your experiences and knowledge.
I could have you understanding that in fifteen minutes just by using a color wheel and a color level chart. But thank you
Clients that come to our school fully get the idea that learning cosmetology is more than putting shears in someone's hands. It's color, it's chemistry, it's myology, it's trichology, it's having to know that we absolutely cannot service a client with certain diseases. It's also knowing nerves, veins, bones etc. It's (for my state) putting in 1250 hours of instruction, taking state boards to become licensed and then not doing something stupid (such as getting a DUI) that could absolutely put our license in jeopardy.
And then clients want to throw a fit when they neglect to tell us they used boxed color (the crap you see in stores to dye hair)on their hair and their hair turns to mush when professional color is applied. As if it is our fault they didn't give full disclosure.
