Which are the best beauty schools in Florida?|100094

I want to go to a beauty school and i live in florida, can anyone give me any opinons?

If you_re really good, the school won_t matter.
You will be required to learn certain things to pass the State Board exam.
A Vocational Technical School will teach those things, for a lot less $$, than a private school will charge you. They will also help you apply for financial aide, if you need it.
If you have the big bucks, a Redken Academy, will teach you how to pass State Board and how to be a Redken Colorist.
There are other private schools, throughout the State, which cost more than a Vo-Tech, but are less than Redken.
My advice to you is:
Visit several schools, talk to the instructors and the students.
Ask your hairdresser, if she attended a local school and how she liked it.
Perhaps, you could find a job as a shampoo assistant, so you could see how things work in a real salon setting, before making a final decision.
Your final phase of training will begin in the salon and will continue until you no longer love being a hairdresser. Every salon operates differently, so you have to be flexible enough to learn a new set-up.
You will learn something from every hairdresser you work with; some good, some not so good.

And my final piece of advice, if you decide to become a hairdresser is how to properly clean color bottles:
Put about 1/4 (one quarter) teaspoon of regular table salt in your color bottle(s), filll the bottle half way with warm water, replace the cap, cover the spout with your finger, shake vigorously, rinse with warm water and replace the cap, so that you don_t loose it. The salt will make the color release from the sides of the bottle.

Best of luck!

I am not sure what area of Florida you live in, but I am an instructor at Central Florida College. We have an excellent Cosmetology program. This beauty school curriculum takes about 9-12 months depending on your commitment and availability. We are a Redken School, and located in Largo, Florida Pinellas county, near Tampa. There are day (full time) and evening (part time) classes available. They are an accredited school, you do not have to have your high school diploma or GED, they have been approved by the department of education and as long as you can pass a standard CAT type of test you can be enrolled. They also have financial aid available (they have a staff who will be happy to see what you qualify for)

The school itself if unbelievably gorgeous. All of the hair stations and equipment were especially shipped in from Italy. The facility is really posh. If you live in or near the area and are looking for a great beauty school, you should at least come and take a tour. Tell them Ms.J sent you :) I am sure I sound like a commercial, but believe me, it will be worth it.
