Questions to Ask on a Beauty School Tour

If you’re looking for a career that combines your passions of beauty and helping others, then one of our beauty programs could be the perfect start for your future! As the beauty industry expands, this is a great time to find out more about what could be waiting for you. We understand that although applying for something you love is exciting, you may feel unsure how to take this next big step. That’s why scheduling a tour is a great way to start preparing!

During your tour, you’ll be able to talk with instructors and ask questions that are specific to your beauty journey. We want you to get the most out of this time with us, which is why we’ve created a list of questions you should make sure to ask.

1. Does Your School Offer Financial Aid?

When thinking about your future beauty education, one of the first things you may be considering is how much it’s going to cost. That’s why one of your first questions to a beauty school should be if they are accredited and can offer financial aid to students who qualify. With the admissions team dedicated to helping you navigate this stage of the enrollment process, there’s no better time to ask about financial aid than during your tour!

The first step to starting the financial aid process is filling out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. Although we provide links to these steps on our website, you can always use your tour to meet with the right people who can walk you through this process. Maybe you have specific questions about your personal finances and how financial aid can help pay for your education. Our team will be happy to help you get started and find out which options you could qualify for!

2. What Program Options are Available?

The beauty world is constantly growing! With so many exciting careers to explore, it’s all up to you to decide which area of beauty you want to pursue for your future. When deciding on the beauty school that’s right for you, it’s important to know what program fits with your career goals.

At Austin Kade Academy, we offer a variety of beauty programs so you can focus on the skills that interest you most! Each of our programs is designed to give you a foundation of knowledge that you continually work on to gain a complete beauty education. Check out our school catalog to find out how long each program is, what you could learn, and more exciting information!

3. Does Your School Offer Extracurricular Activities?

Not only should beauty school help you learn the fundamental techniques you may need for a career but it should also give you experience in outside creative projects that could help with your resume. Doing something beyond the classroom and salon environment could even give you ideas of future beauty careers you may want to pursue after graduation.

We know the importance of extracurricular activities and provide opportunities for our students to show off and develop their skills. Some of the events our students are able to participate in include the North American Hairstyling Awards, beauty shows, photoshoots to build portfolios, and more!

4. What is Your School’s Culture Like?

As a beauty school student, you’ll be spending a lot of time with the instructors and other students. Before committing to a school, take the time to find out more about the school’s culture to make sure it feels right for your beauty education.

We understand this is important to know, which is why we work to have our culture of treating students like family apparent through everything we do. It’s even in our name! Austin Kade Academy was inspired by our owners and their two sons, Austin and Kade. By naming our school after our owners’ sons, we hope that students can come to our school knowing that we’re dedicated to our beauty family. More than anything, our culture is that we truly care for each student and we’ll do everything we can to help them learn how they can prepare to be successful beauty professionals!

5. What Makes Your Beauty School Stand Out?

Not sure what else you should ask on your beauty tour? This question is a great way to learn anything else about the school you may not have thought of that could make all the difference in your education! This is your opportunity to find out if there’s something there that would help you stand apart from other beauty graduates when you’re looking for a career.

One thing that makes us stand out that we’re proud of is our owners and their expertise in multiple areas of the beauty industry. Each of our three owners has had years of experience in the beauty and business world. It’s because of them that we’re able to teach students a foundation in both beauty and business techniques so they can prepare for a career that best fits them. We’re so glad to have so many amazing people on our team who can each bring their own special skills to help our family succeed!
