Atleast you'll be doing something you like! Heck I'm just a grunt at the local tool rental. I need to get my ass into wyotech or something lol.

Maybe if I make it to catjam you can fix the "trim" my gf gave me. Or maybe suggest a new do for me. My hair is extremely thick, but when its any less than a couple inches it sticks straight up. I just keep it long and tie it up. Its a PITA otherwise.

Anyway, congrats. Nice to see someone make something of themselves instead of counting on -jobs their whole life.

Hey Sam... that's so cool!
I remember when I took my test, I was pregnant with Keely and I didn't feel nervous at all until after it was over. But we had to test on a real person... I took my sister with me as my model and had already cut over 10" off her hair before we went. Then when we got there, I had to take off about another 4"... I think that was my most nerve wracking part of it.
Anyway, I went home with a migraine afterward because all the emotion and nervousness caught up to me by then.

Oh and just a word of advice... don't work for a chain salon if you can help it. I worked for Famous Hair, now owned by Regis, and it's horrible. If you can get into a private salon, even if it's on commission... do it. You will build a client el and eventually will make your money at it.

Thanks Karen! Yeah they just changed it this year that nothing is on a live model everything including the facial and manicure is on a manikin which makes everything so much easier I think. I actually work at a private salon now it is called future directions I love it there all I have to do now is talk to my boss so I can get training so I can work there as a stylist and not an assistant.

My mom is a licensed Cosmetologist. She has been for 20 years. My girlfriend wants to be a cosmetologist and is going to school next year for it. Congrats on passing the tests.

Search Southeast Community College. Its closer to you than Wyotech and WELL worth the time and money. I went there. Amazing place.
