Cosmetology
 

I’m commenting to say how unfair I think the curriculum is becoming and will not prepare future cosmologists for real salon world. I was in school when I needed 320 hair styles and it’s going down to 60 is beyond under preparing. If someone wants to do skin or barbering they should go to schools specifically for that purpose. I want to be a salon owner in the future and it’ll be so hard to hire people who are coming out of school knowing the absolute bare minimum. I will have to teacher the graduates from cosmetology school how to do hair. Raising skin curriculum is unnecessary for cosmetology school, there’s esthetic school for that. I am beyond frustrated as well as my classmates in cosmetology school. ITS UNFAIR!!
