Starting Cosmetology in Vo-Tech.

 My Education in Cosmetology Started in Vo-Tech.

After being in school for three years my desire, at the time, was to be a cosmetology instructor. I watched my instructor and thought, I really could make this more fun. This career is such a fun career. I thought in the back of my mind; I would love to teach this.

I became a mom very young in life, actually while I was a senior in high school. I knew how important it was to finish my schooling and in Pennsylvania 1250 hour were required to take the state board Cosmetology exam.  I took my test within the year I graduated. To become a cosmetology instructor in Pennsylvania 500 hours of extra training is required.

Seven years after graduating, I took my instructor training and got my Cosmetology Teacher license. The school I attended for my instructor hours also offered an Electrolysis class. I took that class and became a certified electrologist.

After graduating from my electrology course, I immediately became certified and began doing electrolysis in my home. When my son went off to school, I opened a beauty salon that offered cosmetology services to the whole family.
