HOW TO GET AN EDUCATION IN ANY ENVIRONMENT

HOW TO GET AN EDUCATION IN ANY ENVIRONMENT

1. Don't expect to be appreciated. Your only expectation should be to learn.

2. Don't come to school to have personal relationships. Keep your eye on the career you are here to achieve.

3. Don't allow others or your environment to affect who you are.

4. Look for opportunities to improve the classroom atmosphere without commenting on the challenges. Influence your environment in a positive way, don't let your environment infuence you negatively.

5. Each day is an opportunity to learn to work with different personalities. This is a blessing, even when it does not seem so.

6. Do your classwork and services well, remembering your mission is to be a daymaker, not a daybreaker. A cosmetologist is in their career to serve others.

7. Remember to do your best, where you are. Complete your education in a timely manner, without rushing. Keep in mind you are building your career. This building is done in steps, as on a ladder. Learning is done one step at a time. You must place your foot on the step firmly. If you skip a step or place only a part of your foot on the step, you will fall

Curl Types


 











        While doing some research I came across this photo.  It is NOT from your Milady textbook, BUT I thought it might be helpful because it shows the different curl patterns and gives them a name. It would work well for consultation and for describing curl patterns in your client notes.

I like using a small boar bristle brush to clean the hair off the head while I am using my clippers.  It allows me to better see the hair I have cut.  I've had a hard time finding boar bristle in a small brush lately, but this nylon brush works well.   Ask me if you would like to see one.

 Small nylon bristle brush great for men's clipper cuts

The Fincel Method of Classroom Management

 Please remember the following is the expectation for the class.

1. No talking during class time.  You're here to get your classwork completed, not socialize. Please keep your voices down when working together. Theory room is the quiet room. Salon side is for talking.

2. Raise your hand when you have a question or comment.

3.  Remember, lunch is 12:00 - 12:30.  You are expected to eat your lunch during this time period.  If it's not enough time for you to pick up lunch and eat, then I suggest you bring your lunch. You cannot take extended lunches at a job, so you certainly should not do so here. Exceptions are when you are working with a client.  Lunch must be worked around the client, so please communicate with me. 

4.  No services on each other.  Services must be on your mannequin or a client.  Remember, if your mouth is open, your business is open.  If you cannot build a clientele in school, you certainly will not be able to do so in the real world.  Talk to everyone you meet, speak to the person in line next to you at the store.  Invite people in, use social media.  How are you going to promote yourself when you go to work?  Practice this here.  You can do it. Exceptions:  We will still work on each other as planned activities when learning and practicing something new. 

5.  You have due dates for your work.  Please complete your work in a timely manner.  Do not ask me to extend due dates.  If your work is not completed on time, you will receive a 0.  If you have too many 0's, you will fail the course.  If you fail the course, you will have to repeat the course. This may affect your financial aid.  Please manage your time accordingly. 

6. Class hours are 9:00 am - 3:30 pm.  You are expected to be in class during these hours.  I will let you in the door a few minutes before it is time for class to begin.  There is no need for you to be in the classroom before or after school hours.

7.  Reminder - Your handbook says no cell phones in class, so stay off the phones. If you need to look up anything online, you have a chromebook. 

Attendance for April

 Please remember, I have turned in all attendance corrections for the month of  April.  If you did not get with me to check on any questions you had concerning your April attendance, it is now too late to make changes. Thank you.
