Before attending Iowa School of Beauty, I was choosing between ISB and another local cosmetology school. I had heard amazing things about both schools. When I visited ISB, I felt right at home. Everyone was so comforting and welcoming, and I knew this was the place to start my adventure and future career.
After attending ISB, I knew 1000% that I had made the right decision. Your classmates become your closest friends, your instructors become your biggest supporters and always help with any challenges along the way. Your clients become some of your favorite people to see weekly and catch up on previous chats. Some even seem like you’ve known them your whole life. If I could go back and make any changes, I would have gone to school for this sooner. I can’t even put into words how much I loved ISB and the “family” I gained.
I started my first job two days after graduation and was mind blown by how busy my salon in a small town was. I do chair rental, which means I have to bring in my own business. The thought of being a new stylist and having to bring in my own clientele scared me so bad. But I got extremely busy, fast. I was up to date on the new techniques and hairstyles that are in and that put me ahead of more experienced stylists.
If you are really passionate about the beauty industry and have a love for people and making them feel beautiful, then go for it! ISB will make you feel so at home and so welcome. I honestly enjoyed going to school almost every day, and it was something I looked forward to after the weekend.
