My main point on here is to talk about Cosmetology school.  But I've been there for 5 months.  It's hard to narrow it down to certain things.  I'll probably go into detail about each section they taught us, what was hard, and what wasn't.


But I'm also going to talk about class, and what's going on now.


So far in my 360 class, I've done my grandmother's Perm, manicure, hair cut, and pedicure.  The hardest things about doing my grandmothers 4 services were remembering the steps to a pedicure, and cutting curly hair.  I swear, I thought I was going to cut my fingers off. It was my first time cutting real curly hair.


Note: The one thing I can tell you about class, is take VERY GOOD NOTES.  You'll need note cards once you get to the floor.  


Note: Doing the things you learn in class, on real hair, is nothing like doing them on the mannequins.


I've also done my step-fathers hair.  A guy named Joseph helped me out with the clipper cut and blending.  They don't teach you most of that in class.  We hardly talked about clipper-cutting at all.


Tomorrow I cut Sean's hair.  He is going from the shaggy look, to the largest clipper cut, a number 8, I think.  I don't know how it'll look, but since he's my Fiance, I'll still love him.  :D


That adds up to 5 services.


I would have done his hair today, at 1:45.  But yesterday, after doing my step father's hair, I hit my head really hard on the salon station.  I blacked out.  I was decently ok, besides kind of dizzy, and a headache.  I took the ice they gave me, and went home.  Today, I went to school and it started getting really bad. My friend in class, Melissa, took me to the hospital.  They did a Cat scan, that thing's pretty fun.  Turns out I don't have a concussion, but they did give me some friggin AWESOME headache medicine.  They also wrote me out for today and tomorrow.  I'm still going in to do Sean's hair.  It's buggin' him pretty badly, and I can't do it on Friday.


It'll give me 6 services.


Note:  In Cosmetology school, to do color on someone, you need to bring them in 2 days before and do a patch test.  You mix some blonde-color (we call it a level 7-10) and put it behind their ear.  It's for insurance purposes, to make sure they won't react to the coloring while it's on their head.  I'll get into this more later, when I get into the color section.
