Hair, skin and nails are the basics of what you will learn through beauty schools. You will learn how to professional cut, dye and perm hair as well as many other foundation options. Most students will then go on to learn more specialized fields as well.

Grants and financial aid from the government may help you to pay for your beauty school education. Not all beauty schools qualify for this type of program, though. Find out if they do and then find out how to apply for these grants that can lower what you pay to the school.

Talk with the counselors at the beauty school you are thinking about joining. By talking to them, you’ll be able to get a feel for the type of school it is as well as what you’ll learn there. Have interviews with several different beauty schools until you find the one that you want the most.
