Has anyone ever went to a beauty college to get your hair done?

So i have been considering going to our beauty college where I live. I have work in an Assisted living facility and a couple of the ladies go but im nervous about going? Im trying to be cheap:) because we are on a pretty tight budget right now. I want a perm i already have curly hair but i want it tobe bigger and more voluminous (SP?) and some color added. what do you ladies think? Sorry that turned out pretty longHas anyone ever went to a beauty college to get your hair done?
find out if the school is accredited first.


if they are then they are more likely to be more reputable; if not then run quickly in the opposite direction.





i , personally, have never seen a cosmotologist who has gone to an unaccredited school know and understand chemicals. some of the ones from accredited schools don't understand chemicals, but none from unaccredited do.Has anyone ever went to a beauty college to get your hair done?
That is a tough question. All depends on the reputation of the school and what student you happen to get. I saw some beautiful results in school and also some horrible disasters too. Maybe see just how involved the instructors are with the students too. You can not do a perm and color at the same time. Too many chemicals! Try one of the services you want and see how they do for yourself. Also, ask for someone getting ready to graduate soon.
i have gotten my hair cut and colored at a school before. it was a Douglas J Aveda. They did a fantastic job! Because they are students, they pay more attention to what they are doing - and i have found that since they are newer and younger, they have more of a grasp on newer styles and cut techniques. just make sure to be really specific about what you want and express any concern. :-) dont be afraid to try something new, its not like theyre gonna make you bald! lol. good luck
I think you should give it a go, they wouldn't let public in to the college's if they think that the students are going to get it wrong would they. They have been training and are trusted to do these, i'm sure everything will be okay!
NOO!!!! Dont do it!!! They are not fully certified and if they mess up, youre going to have to end up getting it done by professionals anyway. Just dont do it!!!
if you were doing a cut only I would say ok but you are wanting a perm and color and they do not have enough experience to handle that....
