LMSU : A NEW CHAPTER
After completing my course, learning how to do lash extensions, I want to expand my skill set. There’s a lot of potential in my beauty room to do so many more treatments. I thought about doing some separate courses and doing one thing at a time to slowly build up my skill set, but it seemed it would be better and cheaper to just study them all in a foundation beauty course that would basically teach me everything I wanted to learn and then some. I had researched some courses but seeing as I am new to the world of beauty education, I didn’t know what I needed/wanted to study. I knew there was a certain qualification/level you needed to achieve to have a basic education, but otherwise I didn’t know what to do about it. After speaking to the director of the college where I did my eyelash extension course, she suggested to achieve an ITEC. Perhaps a beauty specialist course. She told me about the courses at that college and one sounded perfect to me, the timetable would fit around my work schedule and the length of the course was perfect.
I quickly decided this is something I want to do. It seemed this ITEC is something I need to have to be taken seriously in this beauty world. So I’m going to take the plunge and go back to college, cautiously optimistic. It didn’t work for me the first time, I quickly lost interest in my first course and by the end of second year I couldn't face a year away studying something I knew I didn’t want a career in. I always think what would have happened if I had listened to everyone’s advice telling me to grit my teeth and bare it. Not leave college and just to stick it out for two more years. My life would be completely different, for the worse. I would have been one more year closer to my degree but I would have been sacrificing my relationship with Stanni. We wouldn't be married right now so I know I made the right decision.
With college this time round I don’t feel like I did before. Fumbling around in the dark. I honestly just chose my course the first time round because I was good at French and I knew I would have the grades in school to get that course, the safe bet. This time it’s something I am actually deeply interested in. I surround myself into the world of beauty 24/7 it is my life. I believe this course will be hard but that it will be interesting to learn the behind the scenes of the beauty industry and learn how to become a part of it. Bring it on.
I would love to know if anyone is in beauty school/has been to beauty school/is thinking about it. Hit me up, I wanna talk about it. I wanna hear the good and the bad and any tips you have for me. Stas is really supportive of the whole thing and is excited for me to start! I should be starting the beginning of October. So this, along with my Russian course I’m doing at the minute 2016 is definitely the year of r̶e̶a̶l̶i̶s̶i̶n̶g̶ learning things. haha
