How to Find the Right Beauty School for You

finding a beauty school that's right for you

If you love being creative, have a passion for beauty, and enjoy making people look and feel their best, then a career in the beauty industry may be perfect for you. But, with so many options out there, how do you find the right beauty school to give you the training and hands-on experience you need to succeed?

Pick Your Profession

To discover the school that is right for you, first, consider what direction you want to take. Would you like to become a hairdresser, a barber, a nail tech, or a skincare specialist? Not sure? You may want to consider a comprehensive cosmetology degree to keep your options open.

Narrow Down Your Choices

Next, since the beauty profession requires hands-on learning, you’ll want to make a list of beauty schools that are in your area, unless you are willing to relocate, and offer the programs you are interested in. Additionally, look for a school that has a full-service beauty clinic where you can hone your skills on real customers. Shore Beauty School is conveniently located in a modern, technology-enabled campus in Egg Harbor, New Jersey.

Visit Your Top Schools

Once you have a manageable list of your top picks, schedule a tour at each school. There is nothing quite like seeing a school in person to help you get a feel for the place. Would you fit in here? Can you envision yourself in this environment? Would this place help you reach your career goals?

Top Questions to Ask During Your Beauty School Tour

When you’re on your tour, don’t hesitate to ask a lot of questions. Choosing a beauty school is a big decision and you want to be well-informed. Here is a list of questions to get you started:

  • Is this beauty school accredited?
  • How long has the school been open?
  • Are there students or graduates you can talk to about the school or specific programs?
  • What is the graduation rate?
  • Do they offer flexible class schedules?
  • How long will it take to get your degree?
  • Does the school offer financial aid?
  • Does the campus look clean and professional?
  • Do the students seem happy?
  • Does the school offer support after graduation or help with job placement?
