Cosmetology Schools?

[Vinyl]

What are considered the big-name cosmetology schools? I'd like to attend one part-time but am having trouble choosing. Thanks in advance! (I'm in Chicago, if that helps.)

The big hair-oriented ones are Redken, Aveda... those are the only two i can think of at the moment. i was thinking of doing cosmetology school as well, once i finish up undergrad.

The only beauty school I have ever heard of is Carousel Beauty College...probably not big name though.

The only big name beauty schools in Chicago are Pivot Point International, Aveda, and Paul Mitchell the School. There is also Capri Beauty college which is a Pivot Point member school. All of their tuitions are around 20,000-25,000...Do keep in mind that Truman Community College has a Cosmetology program though (1500 tuition). I was once told by a senior stylist at a very popular Chicago salon that getting the liscence is all that really matters, you will learn the majority of what you need to know on job.

What about Dudleys?

I forgot about them. They are great too, and mostly all black...but they don't accept financial aid ...that may or may not be a problem for you though...

I was also gonna say Pivot Point especially if you are in Chicago. I'm attending a Pivot Point member school in the Atlanta Area in 2 weeks. They are know for thier great curriculum but as a PP said, I too heard that all that matters is your actual license. You learn everything else as an apprentice.
