Cosmetologists 101:

$20,000 education debt that taught us color theory, chemistry, electricity, anatomy, skin/nail diseases, professional skill, etc.

12hrs of required continuing education every 2yrs in SC, along with the fee of renewing our license. Required city licenses.

Booth renter fees range anywhere between $5000-$13,000 annually and we have to buy all our own supplies.

Do you wanna know why a box doesn't always deliver the right results? Because thats like going into a pharmacy on your own picking up a bottle of medicine that you know nothing about and hoping it cures whatever problem you have... it can likely cause you more problems in both cases. Wanna know why the toner that was suggested for you at Sally's isn't working? Because of basic color theory. You can't correct an issue if you don't know what to use to correct it.

I understand that budget for hair is hard for some people. Afterall, it is not a necessity, but a luxury.

Please respect the fact that we've poured and continue to pour so much into our work financially, emotionally, mentally, physically and this is our livelihood, how we take care of our families and pay our bills.
