David L.’s Answer

My daughter is a stylist. She attended cosmetology school at our local community college. This gave her a firm foundation, including working with clients in the school's salon. The school offered assistance in getting placed in a position after graduation, but I would suggest building some relationships with salons and their owners as you approach graduation. As always, seek advice from people who are successful and experienced in the field. Once you are in the field, never stop learning. Your school will not teach you everything you need or want to learn, especially if you are interested in a niche specialty. Seek additional training when you can. If you work in larger salon, training might be offered to you by the owners.

Finally, always keep in mind the need to grow your client list. Don't be afraid to ask people you meet if they have someone currently and if they are satisfied. If they are not locked into a stylist, ask them to give you a chance. You have nothing to lose by asking.

Are you interested in becoming a stylist in a specific field such as hair, fashion, or home decor, or perhaps something else? The more information you provide, the more comprehensive and useful responses we can generate for you.
