After Beauty School: A Graduation Starter Pack
Life after beauty college might seem daunting, but this is the perfect opportunity to show off your skills to the wider world. This is also your chance to gain irreplaceable experience in the world of beauty.
It’s always useful to research how you can become a successful beautician to make those first months after graduation as stress-free as possible. Luckily, La Beeby have your back. So, before you do anything else, make sure you check out this blog to help get your career off to a flying start.
Practice makes perfect
Practice really does make perfect. Even though you may have heard this hundreds of times before, it’s the only way you’re going to improve. Practise new techniques on yourself or a friend, and take pictures to track your progress. It’s also a good idea to set up a blog or an Instagram account to get your work some exposure, as well as finding potential employment.
Experiment with different ideas and don’t be afraid to try something new either – learning doesn’t have to stop when your beauty course does. There are plenty of YouTube videos and ‘how to’ guides that demonstrate various techniques. Gain valuable experience whilst adding to your repertoire, and who knows who you’ll catch the eye of?
Reading and research
Although you may be tired of research, it’s important that you keep this habit up after you graduate. Ensure you’re always up to date with the current trends, find out what’s popular and try to tailor your work to the services that are in demand.
Sometimes this might not always be possible, but keeping your finger on the pulse of the industry will allow you to converse easily with customers, building up their loyalty and trust. Reading up on ways to improve yourself is always a good idea – clicking on this blog is a good start, so keep it up!
Scoping the competition
As part of this research, analyse the competition in your area too. By looking closely at the services they offer and what their customers are saying about it, you’ll be able to find gaps in the market and adapt your own offering to meet that desire.
You won’t be the best at everything. However, it’s essential that you accentuate the services you do excel at. If you developed a specialism in aromatherapy during beauty college, make sure you demonstrate your superior skills through social media and community platforms. Emphasise how you can provide what your competitors are lacking to gain more customer interest.
