I started cosmetology school and ufff... There are many fresh out of high school girls that know more then me. It makes me feel so low. I needed this
Im 32 & finally decided to get my license!! Career change and I was a little insecure about being a little older now, but ay Gotta follow your heart ❤️ Great things is Im far more prepared for the business side 💇🏽♀️
I’m so happy you posted this now. When I was in school I felt like I was one of the best and I felt so comfortable. Now being in a salon after less than a month I feel like I suck lol. I’m just going to keep my head up and practice practice PRACTICE.
That's such a normal feeling!! You'll find your groove, don't worry!
Same here. I was going to booth rent and now I’m assisting and doing front desk. I am getting hands on training but I feel so behind because of covid and not being in school as much
Jolleen Lovett girl same I feel so behind with actual client experience even tho I’ve done everything on doll heads 1000 times
@@jolleenlovett4494 how normal is it fir salons to offer hands on training?
I graduate on Halloween! Been in school since April of 2019. Nearly screamed with joy when I saw this upload! Thank you!
Congratulations!! :)
I graduate December ughhhhh should’ve been July but covid happened and then I got into 2 car accidents ughhhhhh push me back almost 100 hours. But December 4th can’t come fast enough YAYYYYYYY also I started July 31 2019
This is such good advice Sam. I still remember my first client in the salon fresh out of Cosmo school, she wanted a perm that looked like “Taylor swift curls”. And let me tell you that is not what she got 😬 I felt like I was thrown to the wolves, with no support from other stylists! It’s hard to start any new career.
Omg this video is a sign I swear! I just graduated Cosmetology yesterday so this video is so helpful because right now I don’t know what I’m doing! 💕💕
Thank you so much for this video! I definitley feel all of these things. My story is the same exact as yours. I’m 26; I did cosmetology in high school had my hours but not my license and went to college right after, worked a 9-5 and wasn’t happy. Now I’ve been assisting for a year and have a chair 2 days a week and I love watching your videos on my down time. Thank you!! ❤️
I am SO happy you posted this video! I just got my first job in a salon and I started out assisting, and I just started taking clients this month. I’ve been so insecure and overwhelmed because I feel like I’m terrible at doing hair, but hearing that I’m not alone in this is such a relief 😅
I got my license July this year! Started out assisting in feb. It definitely has not helped that I started out mid Covid so I have been disappointed with what my expectations were vs the reality of being a new stylist post pandemic. I honestly thought I would get a bunch of clients once quarantine ended but lots of people were still scared to get their hair done and/or I primarily get major 5+ hour color corrections that I definitely undercharge for because I'm new. I keep reminding myself that I've only been licensed for 3 months. Lol thank you so much for this! It's easy to get discouraged but your videos have helped me so much over this past year! 💕
Honestly, I feel like your cosmetology journey has helped me discover my dream of becoming a certified makeup artist! This really helps me know what to expect as a prospective cosmetology student and what to know if I do end up opening my own cosmetology studio.
Love love love your videos. I graduated a year ago today 💗💗 so fun to see how far I’ve come, but it’s definitely the natural human in me thinking I could have done more. This video put it into perspective! Thanks for all the good tips!
This was so inspirational. Thank you for being so raw and real with us. I’m so excited and nervous to start school this august but I’ve been watching all your vids on cosmetology school and I feel so much more comfortable😩💕.
Hey Sam ❤️ My name is Nicole I started watching your channel about 3 years ago when u first got into beauty school and at the moment I wanted to go so bad too!!!! That’s how I found u on YT. My husband and I just got married and we couldn’t afford it so I didn’t , but I was a loyal subscriber and saw ur journey . I just wanted to let you know that your videos really inspired me and motivated me during these years that I’m finally going to beauty school starting Monday! Ahhhh I’m so excited . You inspired me more then you know
Thank u so much for sharing your journey
P.S my school is an 1hr 1/2 away too but I took ur advice and even though it’s a hike it’s better then the ones In my area 😆
Omg yay!! That's so exciting! Good luck!!! :)
Thank you for this video I’m a mommy of 1 and I been putting off going to school and just when I signed up covid hit so I post poned going at all and now you have once again made me excited to continue with my decision to go for cosmetology as a career ❤️
Hey Sam I am from Colombia but I am studying hairdressing in Australia. I started this year in cosmetology school since February of this year and due to the pandemic I am not able to return to school and have my face to face classes. So it has been a difficult times but let me tell you I feel extremely identified with you, I am 26 years old and I have a lot of doubts on my mind but when I watch your videos I found them very inspiring and motivating. Thank you.
i graduate in march and i just started assisting. your videos have helped me so much throughout school !!
Wowww! I graduate next Tuesday! This couldn’t of come at a better time! 😍🥺❤️
Your videos inspire me so much considering I graduate cos school in may of 2021 . I've been going through a rough patch but your videos definitely keep me motivated and inspired ! 😊✂
Thank you for this!! In cosmo school right now ☺️❤️
Thank you so much Sam, this was well needed. I recently had a cosmetology interview, and although it went well, I started to overthink things such as: “If I get accepted, what am I going to do after the program?” - “Will I be making stable income?” - “Will my work even be good enough to work under someone?”
I became so afraid I almost changed my major! But thanks to my support team and your tips and suggestions, I will be moving forward with the cosmetology program. Thank you , again ✨💜
This video came at a great time. I started in January and I graduate mid November. I'm so excited entering this industry.
I truly appreciate the honesty you pour out in each and every one of your videos. I just found you today and I look forward to watching your journey. Subscribed! :)
thank you for all of the tips girl! I graduate in the beginning of October and I couldn't be more excited!! ;)
I love this hair for fall on you! 10/10
Thank you! :)
I love your videos!! I’m in cosmetology school right now, and your videos help soooo much
I love your hair. Definitely gives me big fall vibes.
I love your whole look! Perfect for fall 😁
I just started school this month! Glad to have all your advice ahead of time 💗
Good luck!! :)
OMG Sam I used to watch your very old color videos back in the day! And now I'm about to graduate and I'm looking to you for advice again.
I was originally supposed to be graduating this December but due to Covid I can’t until May.. I’m so sad but thankful because I haven’t learned anything from Cosmo. My teachers are all old and don’t want to teach us anything besides perms and old haircuts I’ve taught myself how to color hair but I’m still struggling a lot which is why I’m going to be purchasing your classes because that’s my only hope at this point! I don’t want to graduate not knowing anything 😭 I appreciate you and your advice so much it’s getting me through this tough, frustrating time rn. thank you 💕
I’ve been a hairstylist for four years now and I still struggle with trying not to compare myself to other. I envy you you’re amazing hairstylist but I have to remind myself so am I. We all have our strengths and weaknesses.
I just started Cosmetology school last week! Super excited!!
Good luck!!
Yess this video couldn't have been uploaded at a better time! Sam, I just passed my state board on Sunday September 20th!! It feels so surreal and I start in the salon in a few weeks!! ❤️❤️ I'm so exited!!
That's so exciting! Congrats!! :)
Sam Vay yes it is. I am just kinda nervous so much to still learn :(
My favorite UA-camR🖤🖤🖤
Thank you for this! I just graduated in the middle of august and had a salon job secured but had to part ways due to contracts and my family being apart of the military and having to break said contract so now im in a big ruff looking for something and dealing with confidence going to a new salon!
Aw I'm sorry to hear it didn't work out. Wishing you the best!! :)
Thanks for this Sam! I just started school a month ago and I’m so nervous to get out there and find the right fit for me!! ♥️ but this was super super helpful!
So glad it was helpful :) Good luck!
Love the sweater vibes
Thank you so much for this! I’ve been working at a franchise salon after being an assistant right out of Beauty school and they’ve only been letting me do cuts and are constantly on me about my time. Although it helped me a lot to know what it’s like to work on clients. Including barbering, I really want to start working at a full service salon so my creativity isn’t limited. I’ve been a little bit scared to take the leap and I’ve been wondering how I can choose a salon. I would like to start off as commission like you said. I’m just trying to find the strength to do so. But this video was really helpful because it makes feel like I’m not alone on this journey ❤
Crazy because I graduated yesterday. Thank you Sam
idk if this helps anyone but if it does, great! i definitely agree with sam said. i constantly beat myself up for not doing more in my cosmetology career but everyone's journey is so completely different. i went to a beauty school that wasn't really your traditional beauty school but rather a program through my local community college. i started when i had just graduated high school (2015). i graduated in september 2016 and got licensed in november of 2016. however, i decided to go back to college because i had the option to get an associate's in cosmetology (even though realistically i'm not sure how much you can do with that). as of recently, i still am not where i am with my cosmetology career, i am still going to college while actively pursuing cosmetology. after seeing how the current pandemic has affect the beauty service industry, i am deciding to continue with college so that i can have a stable job that can support my expenses to pursue my cosmetology career.
so to conclude, don't beat yourself up if you are not in the same level as someone else who graduated in your class. there's people of different age groups and skills sets that go to beauty school so no one person's journey is the same. i've been licensed for nearly 4 years now and i am nowhere where i want to be, but i know what i am doing to get there. i am currenly working at a chain to help support me and my college expenses. personally, chain salons are a great start but you can get burnt out very quickly so i would only recommend to stay in one for up to the first 2 years of your career.
also, another thing that i would like to add, don't let anyone belittle you because you chose to go into cosmetology instead of pursuing a degree and going to college.
Couldn't agree more!! Thanks for sharing your experience :)
Thank you Sam, I just got my license. It is so true. Thank you for your advice.
I just graduated this month!! 😭😭 Thank you so much for this video! I feel terrified honestly 😂
I am stuck in this account ^^. Love this girl. She's great. I keep watching many of her videos here. Thanks for all sharing your tips and advice
with us.
So sweet ☺️ thank you! ❤️
Can i just add, thank you so very much for your videos! I was curious about beauty school, so I went on UA-cam to see people’s experience or advice and your video came up! Ever since then I have been hooked on your channel and guess what?! I started beauty school September 2020!!! 🥳 again thank you Sam! Love your videos! Wish you nothing but success babe!!! #fellowfollowerfromHoustonTX! 🤘🏼
So exciting!! Good luck! And thank you so much :) Same to you!
You made some very important points about using different color lines, and different hair textures in models. That could definitely trip up the game. Thanks so much for sharing, and wanting people to benefit from your experience and wisdom. Are business classes taught in cosmetology school since a lot of stylists want to own and operate their own salons?
Some schools do incorporate some of the business side, but it seems like most don't. My school did have a business course built in, but it didn't teach anything as far as operating a salon (more so how you can increase your income as a commission stylist, selling retail, enhancing the guest experience, etc.)
I’m graduating my final year July 2021 and have already done 2 years and I just have to do 1 more year for barbering absolutely love the vids xx
So glad to hear that! Good luck with the rest of school! :)
i graduated in june from beauty school. i was receptioning at a salon prior to that, and as soon as i got my license they moved me to stylist training. it’s still a big transition to me 😂
I recently started watching your videos ! I went to school for dental assistant! But I’ve always wanted to do cosmetology since I was in high school! I just always put it to the side ! But starting next year! I want to go to school ! Paul Mitchell school 🤞🏽☺️ !
That's awesome! Good luck!! :)
Love your nails!!
Thank you for posting this video, am graduating in May. Am so nervous, I feel so unprepared and not ready for this new chapter coming up🙁
286 likes and zero dislikes -- We looooove to see it!!
I wish I could be in cosmetology, everyone in there is so pretty....
Awe we graduated around the same time! 💖
Loveee this video
Off topic but is this the color that the orange faded to?! I love it!

Congratulations!!!
How often do they train you like on the job? How easy to find are salons that offer additional training
I feel like i barely know how to do anyghing after 4 months in school will the places you first stwrt at that know you are new be like okay helping and teaxhing you? I feel like definitely if i assisted they would be?
I recently graduated high school,want to be a hair stylist
I start cosmetology school in November 3rd and I’m sooo nervous 😭
I’m touring a school tmrw and hoping I feel like it’s a great fit for me
So I’m working on getting my licensed last year September 2020 I had graduate but I just want to get licensed I just hope I don’t forget certain stuff because I’m bad with tests
Thanks for this video I just graduated from cosmetology school and thinking 🤔 what is the best way to start you career time
I graduate in May of next year and im so nervous to start in the field
I just graduated the 18th!!! Thank you so much!!
would you say cosmetology school is only for hair stylist? I’m not aiming to do hair but I know its a major part of the course
Good question I want to know what else you do with a cosmo license
I know it’s different for everybody but generally yes. The school I went to only focused on hair. We would do state board manicures and facials and that was it. It’s nice to have a cosmo license because you could switch career paths since it covers a nail and esthetician license but I personally wouldn’t have experience in nails or facials to start directly on a new career path.
No! My cosmetology school also did nails, facials, waxing, eyelash extensions and then hair cut and color you can use your cosmetology license for any of those things but the school mostly gets hair clients
I have 8 weeks left before I graduate!
Lol u think u were older...I was 40 when I started school!😳
I am around your age and was telling myself that I'm to old to start over. Thank you for proving me wrong.
@@alexistee2402 do it! I don't regret it at all! I completely love what I do! Best of luck!!💖😁
@@Aphrodite1018 Thank you, I'm go in to do it I just need to get out my way.
@@alexistee2402 I think being older gives more patience making it a bit easier to learn the technical aspects I didn't expect lol!
you don’t look a day over 19 😭 you’re so gorgeous love!
Can you try to switch it up a bit? Not to be rude but I feel like I keep seeing basically the same videos over and over again... It's always nice to switch up things sometimes :) love your chanel
Hello Sam!
I am Simran from India. I saw your youtube video and learned that you are a cosmetology student. I am a high school student, looking forward to an undergraduate degree in cosmetology. Please help me suggest universities for the same and share your experience. It will help me a lot.
Hoping for your earliest response.
Have a great day ahead!
The first thing is that you’ll make no money unless you’re really lucky 😂😂😂
Omg thank you I needed this since I’m about to graduate cos school🥹💗✨
