My Cosmetology School Experience | Q&A

1. This is such a helpful video! I'm starting Cosmetology School next fall, and this helped me understand what to expect. Great details! 💕
2. Your course sounds way different to what we do in Australia!
3. I'm in beauty school at the moment and I feel a bit defeated because some of the other girls have done hair already. I know nothing about hair but just doing blow drying with the roller brush is all.. do you need to know about hair or have done hair before?
4. there were no books on makeup or nail techniques?
5. what about student loans and can you survive on cosmetology to pay bills. I'm interested in doing it but I don't want to be in student loans forever and I want to know I won't go broke
6. i cant wait to go to beauty school
7. I'm starting Cosmetology School in January, and I'm super nervous. I struggle with horrible anxiety and depression and I get discouraged so easily when I feel like things are getting tough. I would love to know how to deal with that so it doesn't affect my learning or career in the future. My parents are not supportive at all, like they think Cosmetology is a waste of time and money, and I should get a "degree" instead. So that's disappointing for me, but I am 24. I have a family of my own now, and even though their support would be great, I'm doing this for me! Thanks for such amazing videos Meg, xoxo.
8. Pivot Point has 8 books. I go to a community college and its a Pivot Point school, I believe our books cost $875. Our Pivot Point and Marianna kit cost $1700. Our teachers don't play they make you or take points off if you do NOT use the right terminology. That 2nd book with Salon Fundamentals was/is the workbook or study guide. We were able to bleach (decolorize/lighten) our manikins with real lightener. However every other chemical so far they've given us cholesterol and that stuff stinks and turned my manikin hair into straw. I had to do a treatment on mine just to get a brush through it. We get to shave them bald next week.
9. thank you so much for posting this during my journey to find a school i watched this video and now im all signed up and starting tomorrow
10. I'm enrolling in Cosmetology in January; your video was so helpful!
11. Very helpful! Thank you❤️
12. I really want to be a physician, but I'm worried I'm not cut out for med school. I'm a Junior in high school at the moment, and I'm taking AP classes. I'm sure I could do it, but I'm terrified I'll fail. I love science, everything about it. So previously I've figured that I could become a nurse instead of a doctor if I really didn't think I'd be cut out for it.
    But I've also always loved beauty. I started cutting and dying my own hair my freshman year and taught myself almost everything I know about makeup. It's a skill I've really worked on honing since I was eight or nine. And lately, I've gotten really into manicures and pedicures and what my friend and I call 'self-care.' So every few months or so she and I will go into Lush and get all kinds of masks, scrubs, peels, bath bombs etc.
    So watching you talk about how much you loved Cosmetology school and also how much science is involved has really made me think more about going, maybe even changing my mind about med school completely. I just don't think I'll have the money or resources anyway, plus debt until I'm 40 isn't an attractive feature, even though I'm sure I'd love being a doctor.
13. I am actually in NJ and debating between a couple of schools and between aesthetics or cosmetology i love both, both but did you do makeup at PB and just regular makeup or any special effect/tv movie makeup body painting?
14. Do you have to have experience already?
15. Omg you live around the same area I do. I've heard of that school but I'm leaning more towards Aveda in Vorhees. 
16. which contacts is she using in this video?
17. please do more of the beauty school videos! Maybe like tips on getting clients? Or even an advice video on tips for beauty school! I love these videos and constantly find myself re-watching them! i start Cosmetology school in September and am super nervous!
    
    love your videos!

18. what is the entrance exam like?
19. I've been thinking about going to Paul Mitchell but I've heard so many horrible things about it. The one in Fayetteville NC seems to be okay but idk. Apparently that school is full of mean stuck up people. I have really bad anxiety so idk how well I could handle that. Do you have an opinion on PM?
20. I really want to go to cosmetology school. But I nervous because I don't know much about styling hair or cutting hair. I am more into makeup. But I would love to learn! But I am nervous they will look down at me for not knowing anything but makeup.
