The rest is pretty much learn-as-you-go. For example, we spent three days total, test and review included, on the makeup chapter in our book. That's useful information, because a lot of us had a serious interest in it, but they didn't think it was important. So we spent two weeks on learning what perms do, even though one week was quite enough, and there were three separate chapters on diseases. And anatomy, why the Hell did we need to know that? I have no reason to study all the names of all the bones in the human body.<br /><br />This is why I wanted to assist before I became a stylist, but nobody would hire me when I was fresh out of school because I didn't have my license (the first one), and then they wouldn't hire me because it took so damn long to get my license and they took that to mean my skills weren't up to par... which doesn't matter if you're assisting. It's a vicious cycle.dull_flamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05567774313453268606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568726463315478269.post-55094047638508562402011-01-26T00:03:12.993-08:002011-01-26T00:03:12.993-08:00What skills are you lacking if you're a licens...What skills are you lacking if you're a licensed cosmetologist? How did you graduate without being at least decent at what you're doing?<br /><br />I'm not asking this to me rude or anything like that. I sincerely want to know what it is that you're lacking in order to take you to the next level as a stylist.Virgin Monobloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15383202856822824760noreply@blogger.com
