ok... so I'm going to be starting cosmetology school within the next year. I have a few options and I'm looking for some advice.
I know that Aveda Institute is a very good school, but it is also extremely expensive. Like 18,000. Also, they have a very strict absences policy. I was told that 10 absences and your out. i was also told that if you come in 5 minutes late you are marked absent.
I live in Detroit, and the school is in Royal Oak, which for me is about a 45 minute commute, no traffic. which worries me, because class starts at 830 and is tuesday thru saterday. It will be extremely hard for me to work.
My girlfriend told me that whatever I have to do, go to this school.
Now, there is the Paul Mitchell school. I believe it is like 12-13,000, but it is also about ten minutes from my house and I think they have part time programs. Even if they didn't, just the drive time would totally save my ass!
I think I should have at least half of my tuition saved up front, and I moved back in with my parents, so I don't have a lot of bills. I'm also filing for grants. But... is it realistic to think that I can do the Aveda program while working and commuting? is it worth it? I can't imagine getting up at six, driving to school, getting out at four thirty and then working. but if it means a better job, I could deal.
does anyone know anything about the Paul Mitchel schools? I'd really appreciate any info. I've heard some say they are great, and some say terrible.
This shit is stresssing me out! why is Aveda so expensive? AHHHH!!!!
