Q: My daughter is interested in going to school for cosmetology in Northern New Jersey - New York City, Manhattan or Brooklyn…would appreciate help in identifying the best school for her?
A: Your best bet is to request information from one or more of the schools in the area you mentioned.
Try this search to review the available Cosmetology School options in Brooklyn, New York.
Once the school contacts you, be sure to ask the representative any questions you may have, and don’t forget to check if the school is accredited. Students attending accredited beauty schools usually become eligible for various financial aid options from the Federal Government. Federal financial aid can include both grants (don’t need to be paid back) and low interest government loans (will need to be paid back, usually over long periods of time). The school representative can provide you with more information about specific tuition rates for the programs you are interested in and types of grants and loans you may qualify for to help pay for your daughter’s schooling. Most cosmetology schools are one year programs, so your daughter could be working in her new beauty career less than a year from now!
Q: I need information on cost and period, duration and when classes begin, for hairdresser?
A: We provide a complete directory of beauty schools. The information you seek would depend on the school you are interested in and the course of study you decide to undertake. Your best bet is to look for schools in your area (by state or by zip code) that offer Barbering or Hair Dressing programs.
Q: Hi do you offer refresher courses?
A: Refresher courses can be found under continuing education. You might try searching for schools in your area that have such programs. Another possibility if online is your thing, try Modern Salon’s online courses. Good luck!
Q: Where might I purchase a late 1980′s Students Cosmetology Textbook? I graduated in 1989 and loaned my book out and it never was returned to me.
A: Have you tried Half.com / Ebay? This auction has one day left on it - not sure if it’s the one you were looking for. Good luck with your search!
