What Questions Should I Ask?

Preparation is the key to success on your tour. We want you to get the most out of your tour and your time with us! Your time is important and we know that pursuing a new career can be a lot to think about. Knowing which questions to ask will help with that. Think about the questions you have and write them down so you can refer to them later. Here are a few questions you can ask:

• What programs do you offer?

• What sets your school apart from other schools?
• How much is the tuition for the program?
• How can I pay for beauty school?
• What is the enrollment process like?
• How long will it take to complete a program?
• What are the application requirements?
• Does the school have career placement resources?
• What is included in the student kit?

What Can I Expect During My Tour?

When you arrive for your tour, you’ll be greeted by one of our staff members! You’ll get the chance to explore the campus and really imagine yourself there. This is your chance to meet the students, staff, and instructors. You’ll get an inside look into the daily life of students at our school. Observing the school culture is an important part of the process and may even help you make a decision.

Our instructors are a great resource, and have been in your shoes before. Take this time to ask them any questions you might have, they could offer a different perspective! They are trained to provide strong educational assistance to our students so that they can be successful.

What Should I Bring?

You’re not required to bring anything, however, we do have a couple suggestions to make your visit a little easier:

• A notebook and pen: You probably had a lot of questions before your tour. Write them down in a notebook and bring it with you! This is where you can write down the answers to your questions and review them later
• A family or friend: Making a decision about your future is made a little easier with the support of a loved one. They will also offer an extra set of eyes and ears for you.
