Should I trust a local beauty school for waxing/haircuts/dye?

13 Oct

I know this is a pretty good school, and it is run by a local community college, but I was wondering if I would be putting much risk into it. They offer cheap services so that students can practice, but these aren’t new students. Do you think it would be too much of a risk to do the whole haircut/dye thing at this beauty school? Any opinions?

you have to check out their student:teacher ratio. if the ratio is too low, forget it.
i’ve tried the my local student services at a well known hairdressing school for rebonding plus cut. it turned out well, but the time i spent there was like 3 times the time i would have spent at their normal salon with a senior stylist. just my haircut took 1 and a half hours… can you believe it?

    you’d prob be safe going to a gay guy at one of them. don’t they have like magic powers when it comes to that sort of stuff?

    it depends..you can go in there & ask that only a senior does your hair….

    do you know anyone who knows someone that might go there??

    or ask if anyone has had their hair done there & ask who did it if it turned out good & wasnt long ago..

    You can trust them a teacher is always by their side in case of errors.

    *******************************************************
    You can trust them for some things
    The risks you shouldn’t take are-

    -under arm waxing
    (a wrong stroke might give you lumps under your arms)
    -hair dyeing..you might not get the desired color and effect

    There are horror stories and great stories…but there are at salons too. I was once sent to a colloege to have my hair cut and coloured for a play I was doing…the students were well into their course and seemed very good, but more to the point they had a group of teachers monitoring them and helping out where necessary.

    The onlt way for students to become good hairdressers etc. is to learn by doing.
    It’s worth a shot. If you don’t like it, you haven’t wasted much money and your hairstyle will be temporary anyway.
