I'm going to cosmetology school in August and I'm so glad your being 💯.
I’ve been doing 20 yrs and she’s totally right. 💕💕
I am so excited that I have found you on TH-cam again & have been binge watching your cosmetology school experience as I start this fall & you made me feel even more excited & prepared for it. Also, even crazier, is that I watched your video on red hair years ago & used it to dye my own & had so many compliments!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience!! I'm currently in cosmetology school. So any realistic info I can get is awesome. I just found this video, and I live how real you are! I'm definitely going to subscribe. I wish you all the best in your career.
Thank you so much for making this video. I start Barbering school in just a few weeks! It’s been something I have wanting for so many years and am now finally doing it! Your advice is so helpful :) I know this is an older video of yours but I found your page the other day and have been watching so many of yours! Thanks and cheers from Colorful Colorado! :)
Something I didnt expect was doing unpaid demos on a hair model and/or shadow shifts before being put on payroll.
sharkitty that sounds tough esp when people only have that one job to rely on without other income coming smh
Yay sam love your consistent uploads 🙌🏻
This is such good info. Glad I found your channel. I will be going to cosmetology school at some point and your videos have been really helped me make my decision. Thank you for being so honest about your experiences.
I’m not going to cosmology school, but I am going to massage therapy school. A lot of the stuff you said resonated with me. I’m glad you are so real😍 Thank you!
Love how honest you are
This was SO informative! such good tips! I'm starting cosmetology school in 2 weeks at Aveda and I'm already stressing about money! Thank you!
Hey, I’m going in for a tour at Aveda and just wanted to know how your experience was.
You look gorgeous!!! Love your makeup!
i have bingewatched all your videos on cosmetology and thankyou so much for it

1st like❤️ I love your videos, im starting cosmetology school in August❤️
Thank you! And good luck!!
Your videos are so entertaining and that make up always on point 👌🏻💛
Thank you!!
I start Paul Mitchel next week and I'm super excited to start, I always knew this is what I wanted to do since elementary. Watching your videos from your first day to where you are now just makes me even more excited for this part of my life!
Aw, congrats and good luck!!
How'd Paul Mitchell go? I start in January!
Your amazing thank you so much for this video, I am in hairdressing school ❤️thank you for the idea of models :)
I have been watching your videos all night. I love you and how passionate you are. I have looked at your ig and you’re very talented 😍 best of luck love
Thank you so much!
I agree with you fully. I only did color bc that's all I wanted to do, so I worked in a chain salon. It ended up making me hate doing hair bc of the money making.. Get them in and out asap. I never went to college but ended up being a receptionist after that and will continue to do office jobs lol
You're speaking the truth!! If it's not your passion it's not worth it
Thank you for sharing that! I know a lot of people with a similar story. But at least you tried it out and don't have to ever wonder "what if?"
new sub here😋 Your beautiful and I love that polish!!
Thank you so much!
Wow this video was so informative
Your makeup always looks great ❤️ where did you get the flower shirt it’s cute 👍🏼😬
Thank you! It's a nightgown from Adore Me.
I’m in cosmetology school and I graduate in December thank you for the information.
You're welcome! Good luck!
Hi can you make a new video on how to bleach your hair or how to get rid of black or red hair color please !!😘
Do you use a detangling comb
you do beautiful makeup
thank god i live in NY so maybe when i eventually can be a hairdresser i may get more money than you have gotten cuz rent is expensive and right out of school i wanna move out and be independent
♥♥
Im so Glad I Found you I also live in pa and im also a cosmetologist since 2014 the only thing is that i am not working as a cosmetologist since years. I am a stay home mom I have 3 kids as you can see im super busy all the time and i dont have no one that can take care of the kids But i wanna go back to work as a hairstylist im just afraid Im going to start all over again like a new recently graduate cosmetologist if you see this comment please any advise. I already Subscribe.
Hi Sam, I realize it’s been a year since this video. How your biz now?
If you don’t mind me asking how old are you?? I went to cosmetology school right out of high school and I’m 23 now and I just found a good salon after I’ve had 3 duds before! Glad I can relate to you on that.
I'm 26, about to be 27 soon
I’m in such a rut 😭 I’ve been out of school for about 8 months I feel like so unmotivated people are nice but also so rude sometimes, I’m tired, people throw their emotional baggage on me even when I try redirecting conversation, I work so much and not making much money 😭 can u make an update video on how you feel?
Brooke Gordon yes!
I start cosmetology school in June! :D
Sophia Peterson I’m a senior in high school and being a hairstylist has always been my dream!!! but I’m lost and I need help with how everything works and if I have to do make up and nails (because I don’t want to!) Can you help?!?!
You sound like me we are hair family's .you were telling the truth thats why i sub you.
your vids make me excited to start my schooling in september!!!
So glad to hear that! Good luck! :)
That's the thing about training as a stylist as soon as your qualified you have to find clients and suffer bad health issues and the money is awful starting out as a new stylist it takes years of extra courses and experience to really make money from it there are other trades that pay good money
LNAOOO ALDI aww
Where in pensalvaina are you my sister in law lives near Trenton im from uk and it’s nice but you do have to drive miles to get anywhere. They asked me & my husband to move to us but being a hairdresser my self it’s hard work to start again.
Isn't it fun how you can get a degree or license and still have to work numerous jobs to afford food, much less rent? 😒 The constant struggle has me feeling very cynical.
It's pretty awful. It's just a cycle of bullshit, but I just remind myself that I'm not alone and hopefully things will work themselves out eventually.
Just like with any new graduate. Entry level is pretty basic until you get enough experience to work somewhere that you get paid better.
Same. I feel completely lost in life because of this
Where’s your top from!? 😻😻
It's actually a nightgown! But it's from Adore Me.
Make a video about your corporate job and why you left
did you have any male student's in your class??
What do your business cards look like? I've been wanting to make some but I'm new to the industry and not completely sure what should be on there.
My boss makes ours so that they all go together and look the same - but have your name relatively big, your title (either just hair stylist, or hair and makeup artist, color specialist, etc.) the name of your salon, the salon's phone number and address (I don't suggest giving out your personal number because people will constantly be blowing up your phone), and all of your social media where you feature your work.
Google examples of Cosmetology business card.
You look so thin! I love your style! Have u ever considered moving to a bigger city to make more money?
Aw, thank you! Of course I have, but you need money to move to a big city first lol. And honestly, I feel like I'm over city life. I like being in a quieter more low key area right now.
I wonder how you feel watching this video in 2019 :)
Does being a stylist pay tho? Or u need other side jobs
There is no yes or no answer to those questions because it varies greatly.
It can. But realistically probably 75% of cosmetology students either drop out or don’t stick with it long enough after graduation to be successful. And She’s right you really do have to deeply love the craft to make it in this business.
I wanna go to cosmetology school and a photographerrrrr and i wanna do interior design IDK what to do
Nicole Delgado do it allllll 😂💕
Do you think chain hair salons offer benefits? And do you think since theyre always busy theyre more financially dependable?
Also i love the referral program idea! Free eyebrows when you bring a friend 😉
Your nails 😍😍😍
ON THE RURAL PART
I fucken love u. Ur so beautiful 💕👍
How did you say no to a solon you were offered a job while assisting or shadowing
In my case, it was easy, because they knew from the very beginning that I lived far away and was only working there because it was close to my school. But some salons may only want to hire you or let you shadow if you plan on working there as a stylist, because otherwise they're kind of giving all of their secrets. Just be honest from the beginning though.
@@styledbysamvay makes sense
Thank you
I'm about to drop out of school as it's just not for me and the reality is it's very hard to stand up for 8 hours at school and work..im 40 years old and now I'm about to pay off 19,000 that I don't have lol yea true shit
It's honestly such bullshit that education is so expensive in this country, because if you don't end up absolutely loving what you choose to go to school for, you're basically screwed unless you're fortunate enough to come from a family with money. Yet, how are you supposed to know if you're truly going to like doing something until you actually try it?! Really frustrating, so I feel your pain.
And this is why apprenticeships should be allowed to count for hours in every state. I hear of this all the time people going $20k in debt for nothing. Nothing to show for-it. That’s crazy to me.
Did you study hair and makeup?
Most cosmetology programs include hair, skin and nails but it varies by state. :)
Caregiving part time is a good second job while getting enough clients.
My Mom was a stylist
u look beautiful
Thank you so much :)
Almost every job is tough.
And
#SamVay how is it now w/ all that's going on?
