Hey readers!!!! If you watched the video on the Journeys site, Olivia told you that in the Cosmetology program at Ohio Hi-Point you will graduate with your license to practice cosmetology. Last year, the seniors went to take their state board test in the summer, after school was out. This year, the cosmetology department has a goal to have all of us licensed EARLY!! I am very excited to have my license and be able to work on clients outside of school.

In order to receive my license and pass the state required test, I have to understand all of the concepts that we learned in school and be able to perform them on a mannequin. I believe a relaxer is performed, a perm, a 90 degree haircut, hair color application, a basic manicure, and also we must pass a written exam. It’s super important for us to remember our sanitation training. The sanitation is simple, just very redundant. You must sanitize your hands before and after each service as well as every time you throw something away. If you drop a comb you have to get a new one. I hope by that time I have mastered all of these by the time we go to state boards in the spring!! Keep reading!! See ya!!
