Cosmetology / Esthetics / Nail Tech Schools (Western or Central MA)
My kid might be interested in going into one (or all) of these fields. She's going into 9th grade, so it could change before she graduates. I am a licensed cosmetologist but I was trained in Florida at Aveda Institutes over 20 years ago, so I have no experience with MA cosmetology schools. I'm also not working in the industry anymore. I have the mass.gov list of accredited schools already.
In FL, a Cosmetology license was considered a "full license" and I could have done manicures, pedicures, all hair services, hair removal on face, and basic facials. Is it the same here?
I am also interested in experiences of students or parents with any of the cosmetology/beauty schools in MA? I want to avoid schools with negative reputations in terms of cleanliness, rigorousness of the curriculum, students coming out unprepared, poor teaching methods, etc.
Thanks again. I know I'm early to it, but she loves doing nails and make-up and I knew at 14 what I wanted to do, so if she's interested in this, I want to support her.
