You Got This
One of the perks of visiting cosmetology and skin
care schools is hearing the inspiring tales from
students of how an encounter with an unsuspecting
beauty professional changed their life. How that
one moment compelled them to want to change the
lives of others, one beautifying service at a time.
There are many reasons people decide to go to school, but for some
it isn't always easy to stay in school. I encourage you to remember the
unique inspiration that put you on this path and these four words:
resilience, resourcefulness, faith, and professionalism.
Resilience: Don't let naysayers control your destiny. Don't give up when
someone says you aren't doing it right, or you don't fit the mold, or your classes
don't fit into their life. Keep perfecting, pursuing, reinventing, and performing.
Resourcefulness: Ask for what you want or need. Engage with successful
beauty professionals now, while you're still in school. Be curious.
Faith: You must have unwavering faith and desire. Always believe in
you, even when others may not.
Professionalism: You must walk the walk before you can talk the
talk. Embody all the characteristics of the beauty professional that
inspired you—if you don't have a mentor, find one. And of course,
join one of our professional associations: ASCP, AHP, or ANP.
To help fuel your inspiration and support you on your journey, we're
thrilled to offer this special student edition of our member-exclusive
magazine to give you a taste of just one of the benefits you'll receive when
you join our organization as a Professional member. In it, you will find
articles and columns specifically curated to prepare you for your career.
Beyond our award-winning magazine, Professional membership provides
you with access to industry experts, real-world education, and the most
comprehensive professional liability insurance in the industry.
Protection. Community. Education. Career Support.
Wishing you great success,
