How long does it take to build a successful hairdressing career?
There will be many factors: experience, continuing education, your salon, proper guidance, and a lot of initiative on your part. If you’re fortunate to work in a salon that is progressive and offers education and training you could start building a successful hairdressing career within two years after beauty school. Some of you may require a longer training period; while others may be able to succeed in a shorter time period. Your speed of development will depend on your competitive spirit, willingness to learn, open mindedness, and effort. Yes, there will be peaks and valleys during your development; minimize and learn from your mistakes and continue to grow. After 40 years, I’m still learning.
