Is Hair School Right For You?
You may be wondering if hair school is the right choice for you. If you’re investing time and money into this career, you want to make sure you feel confident that you are making the right decision! Keep reading to learn what traits make a great hairstylist and if you have what it takes!
Creative Mind
Being artistic often goes hand-in-hand with being a hairstylist, and hairstylists need to embrace their creativity to bring a look to life! Clients will bring inspirational photos and rely on you to turn them into a cut or colour that will look great on them and work for their lifestyle. Surprisingly, many students who start our program don’t consider themselves highly creative at the beginning - but by learning strong foundational skills, they have the opportunity to bring their creative vision to new heights!
You’re a Go-Getter and are Self-Motivated
Cosmetology School opens the door to a variety of career paths. If you love working with clients and hair, working behind the chair would be perfect! For the more entrepreneurial-minded, the option to open your own salon is there for the taking. Many of the salons in Winnipeg are actually owned by Aveda Graduates! If neither of those options sound quite like you, don’t worry - hairstylists can go on to work in the Film and TV Industry, become Hair Educators, Creative Directors and so much more! The opportunities are truly endless when you’re working with a global brand like Aveda.
You Love Working With People
Developing strong client relationships is a big part of achieving success. If you choose to be a stylist, much of your day will be talking with new people from behind the chair. Individuals that enjoy meeting new people and hearing their stories can thrive in this industry! Many stylists working behind the chair build clientele that they service for years, who end up becoming more like friends than clients.
