Student Getting into school
Hey whats going on so im going to be touring a barber school in wednesday and this is honestly a big and kind of late choice for me right now. Im currently a server/bartender who is also in a metal band so I will be wanting to specialize in alternative haircuts and dye jobs.
I am pretty nervous to start ik not too worried about affording school or anything but does anybody have some advice as to what I should do or how i should go about school?

Barber school or beauty school? Where i live barber schools don’t teach hair color or touch much on longer hair cuts. Might want to attend a beauty school.

Def check out more than one school. My school taught color, highlights, etc., but some schools don't. And you can always take outside classes to gain knowledge and skills not taught in school. Or you can always just watch video tutorials as well.

Nerves are normal, I'd be nervous too honestly. Are you checking out more than one school or just this one?

Barber instructor here- school will be challenging and should be fun. Your primary purpose is to get your license and that means to learn things that will get you to that goal.
So what does learning anatomy and physiology have to do with that? You will when you get to that chapter. Yeah, fun stuff. Just learn it, get high test scores because you’re going to need that when you go to state board so you can pass the exam on your first try.
