With the New Year just around the corner, it’s often a time when we look for opportunities to make positive changes in our lives.
We’re all familiar with the tradition of making New Year’s resolutions – as we start to look forward to the New Year, we start to consider areas for improvement in our lives.
Our New Year’s resolutions can vary across the board, but often times they focus on health or career-related goals. Perhaps you have career goals of your own.
Have you been dreaming of a career that excites you and makes you happy to show up to work every day instead of feeling like you’re just holding a job?
Are you thinking about finally taking the plunge to enroll in beauty school?! You chose the right time to get into this industry.

Fortunately, there are steps you can take to protect and replenish your skin from the brutal winter elements. To give you a head start on your winter skincare routine, we’re going to list a few tips to keep your skin healthy and happy all winter long!
Is Cosmetology School Hard?
Cosmetology school can differ from traditional schools. Why?! Because it offers a unique learning environment. You learn in both the classroom and hand on in the performance floor. Typically if students have struggled with a traditional learning environment, like high school, they find cosmetology school to be easier. The great thing about cosmetology is it integrates both types of learning styles!
To become a licensed cosmetologist the state requires you to pass the state licensing exam. Students who struggle with taking tests tend to dread the idea of taking a state exam; however, we have several tips and tools that prepare our students for the written and practical exam – no matter what your learning style is!
If the idea of working with people every day in a salon or spa environment excites you, then maybe it’s time to explore career opportunities in the beauty industry. Imagine yourself working as a stylist, colorist, barber, nail technician, makeup artist, or skincare specialist…within one year or less! The sooner you enroll, the sooner you can work in a career that fulfills your passions.
As many say, there is no better time than now. That’s why we believe you should enroll in cosmetology school during the fall and winter…because as bone-chilling as it may sound – that time is now! 😉
So, time is of the essence! This is why you should start at the Academy of Beauty Professionals this fall and winter:
