hey all, i’m hoping some people here just understand what i’m going through bc i feel so alone.

I had to move cosmetology schools due to conflicts that wouldn’t be resolved. if i didn’t transfer i would have graduated this month.. instead of april or may next year. Seeing everyone from my previous school being now licensed is just so frustrating, they were all people who didn’t care who heard what negativity they had to say.

I was hoping when i joined this new school I would have found people who would want to talk to me, but everything feels so forced. I barely get any clients no matter how much i advertise and beg my teachers for clients, I’m wondering if it is worth it to even continue this. I am almost 50k into my whole journey already and if i drop out I will have to spend even more money on a different career. does it get better once you are licensed?

tdlr: If anyone else has been in the boat of having to switch schools and have your education take longer, how did you get through it? what brought back the joy of doing hair?

What’s the best way to prepare for the exam? Is the practice exam on prov a good way to study?

I’m looking for some matte black lash trays, does anyone have any recommendations of where I can get them from?

hi everyone! i recently got the job at a lash extension salon, and i start my training tomorrow. i will be having the receptionist position, and i was wondering if anyone had any advice for me?

i am f17, and have only had one job before this, which was a food service job at a cafe for about a year and a half. i should be focusing on doing appointments and answering the phone, as well as some restock tasks. any advice would be appreciated! thank you :)

more specifically, ideas of what to wear, advice for training going smoothly, or general receptionist advice would be great!

So I just started learning haircuts. Did a 180 and I loved it and currently on the 90. So far I’ve botched 3 haircuts on mannequins. I just can’t get it. I double and triple check with my comb to make sure I’m doing a 90 before I cut but then my instructor checks and it’s all wrong or I miss corners. I also follow my guide by doing small sections and STILL do it wrong. What are your tips for 90s or haircutting in general. Please help!!

Hey guys! I went to touch up my roots last night and after mixing my powder bleach with my developer, it came out pretty watery. I let it sit for a good 5 mins, but it never thickened.
I didn’t use it, because I’m unsure if it is still safe to use? I googled, but there are mixed answers. Anyone had experience with this before? Is it safe to use? Tia!
