Do Your Research
The first step in preparing for your beauty school tour is to do your research. This can include browsing our website, reading reviews, and exploring our social media channels to better understand our school. Understanding our programs, culture, and values can help you determine if we resonate with your career goals.
Set Clear Goals
Before stepping foot on our campus, take some time and set your intentions for your beauty school tour. What do you hope to accomplish? Do you want information about our programs, *financial aid options, or student support services? Having an agenda with clear goals can help keep you focused and ensure you gather all the necessary information to make a decision.
*financial aid is only available to those who qualify
Prepare Questions
The beauty school tour is the perfect opportunity to gather information and seek clarity on any doubts you may have. We recommend that you prepare a list of questions to ask during your visit. These may include:
- What programs do you offer?
- Can you provide an overview of the curriculum?
- How much hands-on training is included?
- What is the student-to-instructor ratio?
- How long is the duration of the program?
- What are my payment options?
- How does the school stay updated with the latest trends and advancements in the beauty industry?
- What are the requirements for admission?
- Do you have experienced and qualified instructors with industry expertise?
- How does the school support students in developing their professional portfolios?
- Is there a career services department that assists students with job placement after graduation?
Remember, don’t hesitate to ask any additional questions that come to mind during the tour. The more information you gather, the better equipped you’ll be to make a confident decision about your beauty school journey.
Dress For The Occasion
A beauty school tour is not only an opportunity to learn about the institution but also a chance to make a lasting first impression. It’s crucial to recognize that first impressions are often formed within a matter of seconds, and your appearance plays a significant role in this process. Dressing appropriately for the tour is key to making a positive first impression.
Choose outfits that not only make you feel confident but also align with the setting. Demonstrating your passion for the beauty industry through your appearance and behavior will not only leave a positive first impression but also showcase your potential as a future beauty professional.
Be Punctual
Arrive on time for your beauty school tour, and maybe even plan to arrive early! It demonstrates respect for the school’s staff and their schedule and set the right tone for your tour. It also alleviates any stress that can come from rushing to find the location or feeling flustered as you enter. Arriving early allows you a few moments to compose yourself, take in the surroundings, and feel more at ease before the tour begins.
Take Notes And Pictures
As you tour the campus and participate in activities, take notes and pictures to help you recall the details later. This can be especially beneficial when you’re comparing multiple beauty schools to make an informed decision.
Your notes and pictures can also help you remember specific aspects that resonated with you personally. These small details can make a significant impact on your decision-making process and help you choose the beauty school that aligns best with your aspirations.
Interact With Students And Faculty
If given the opportunity, try and interact with students and faculty. They are the best source of firsthand information about the academy’s culture, teaching methods, and overall experience. Engage in conversations and ask about their favorite aspects of the academy and any challenges they faced.
These conversations not only provide you with essential information but also allow you to envision yourself as part of the Austin Kade Academy community. Feeling a sense of connection and belonging during the tour can be a powerful sign that the school is the right fit for you.
