I’ve been doing some research on cosmetology schools in California and most places seem to have such negative reviews! If you went to cosmetology school in California, where did you go and what was your experience? submitted by /u/DeliciousNose8060 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi! I just posted a few weeks ago. I’m transferring from Ohio to SC and have to retake both the practical and written exam but it’s been 11 years and the practical test goes over things I did not learn originally in cos school. I have looked up YouTube videos but can not find any videos going over the cos waxing portion/nails. I have never done nail tips and I don’t know how to prepare for this test when all I’ve done for the last 10 years is hair. Does anyone have info on this? Any suggestions of what I can do? submitted by /u/thatgoodgirl21 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hey all, I’m not new to hair, but I’m also not a pro by all means. I start cosmo school in the fall which I know will give me all of the information and knowledge I need, but in the meantime I want your guys’s opinion: I’ve been dying my hair by myself for less than a year now, and a few months ago I used AgeBeautiful’s crème lightener to bleach a halo around my hair. Ever since, however, I’ve been getting some of the weirdest split ends on the bleached parts. I do realize that it can just be damaged/weak/uber dry hair, but I regularly use hair oil after a shower and trim my ends pretty often ..read more

Hey cosmos! So i have a final coming up where we have to create a "bridal set" including and updo, makeup look, and posterboard and i just wanna field ideas. I think i wanna do en Elvira inspired beehive moment with a tiara. Bc im not allowed to cut the dolls hair ill probably get a bang piece to go in front of the tiara, and more hairpieces in order to do that teasing. My current plan is to do a roller set and tease it from there bc my hollywood curls are honestly not a very strong skill of mine, and neither are updos in general but here is one updo I've liked so far that seem little unreali ..read more

Hi, so about a year go I dyed my hair green with splat, I know…BIG MISTAKE. I loved the color and re-dyed it about twice before I found out that splat was bad. I tried everything I could think of to cover it up, but no dye would really touch it. Me and my friend used Arctic fox and dyed it a dark blue, but the blue didn’t even take, and barely showed up. I decided to let it fade, and it did for the most part. My natural hair color had come back and the green was faded but still there on the ends. I went to Sally’s and asked them for advice, and they gave me ION brownish red permanent dye and ..read more
