Becoming a hairstylist can look like a fun and glamorous career from the outside. You get to be creative, work with people, and help clients feel good about themselves.
But there is another side to the beauty profession that most people don’t hear about before they enroll in cosmetology school.
I entered the beauty industry in 1977 and eventually owned my own salon. Over the decades, I learned that knowing how to cut, color and style hair is only part of becoming a successful hairstylist.
You also have to learn how to build a clientele, set your prices, market yourself, handle difficult situations, manage your time and understand the business side of the profession.
That’s why I wrote So You Think You Want To Be A Hairstylist.
This book isn’t meant to discourage anyone from becoming a hairstylist. It’s meant to tell you what the profession is really like before you invest your time and money into it.
If you’re considering cosmetology school—or know someone who is—this book can help you understand what you’re getting into before you take that first step.
