So you have made the decision to follow your passion and start your career in the Beauty Industry. That is exciting! You’ve done the research, you’ve figured out the best licensing option for you, and finally you have picked the school. However, the work doesn’t stop there! Once you are in school, there are a multitude of ways you can ensure you gain the most from your education.
At New York Institute of Beauty, we make it a priority to offer what we can to assist in that goal of maximizing your time. Embrace the experience by following these top tips and set yourself up for success following graduation.
Attendance and Punctuality
Think of school as a test run for employment. You want to show that you are responsible, dependable, and well prepared. Arriving at least 10 minutes before class begins sets you up for a successful session. The prep time gives you a chance to check your supplies, make sure all of your work is in order, and allows you to be ready to be engaged in class from the moment it starts. Just like you wouldn’t not show up to work, don’t miss class time either! By consistently attending your courses, you are showing that you can be relied upon. This is huge for employers! Plus, the better your attendance the faster you can graduate and get out into the field!
Join a Study Group
Study groups are a great way to not only boost your knowledge, but also to form relationships with fellow students who may someday be your coworkers, employees, or bosses! While students are always encouraged to form their own study groups, New York Institute of Beauty offers weekly Study Groups virtually that are held by NYIB Educators! This allows for students to get the extra help they need by both fellow classmates and a knowledgeable instructor! Double win.
Learn About the Business
Although you may connect most with others just starting Esthetician school, you should also reach out to those who are already in the field. By talking to working Estheticians, you can learn more about their experiences and find out tips about the business side. New York Institute of Beauty’s Educators and Staff Members all have years of field experience under their belts, with a broad range of backgrounds. Students are encouraged to ask questions and get guidance, even from Ownership!
NYIB also focuses heavily on business education both in theory and skills. In the NYIB Student Clinic, students are taught not only hands on techniques, but the entire back-end process of working in a spa. Students experience working on clients, retail, customer service skills, and more. Imagine how much more confident you will be as a new Esthetician after spending months working in a fully functioning spa environment! NYIB encourages students to maximize this experience by promoting their services and practice book building while in school! So get those business cards and professional social media accounts up and running, and get that experience!
Sign Up for Industry Events
Make the most out of any extras offered by your beauty school. Sign up for sessions with guest speakers or attend specialized skill training events. Your school may bring in guest teachers qualified to provide the latest advice on the top skincare trends and techniques. New York Institute of Beauty believes strongly in the benefits of guest speakers and industry specific events, and hosts multiple events per month. NYIB keeps an updated event calendar to help students stay in the know for upcoming seminars.
Esthetics School Experience
New York Institute of Beauty also offers a wide range of specialty courses that students can take to gain additional training and certifications. By taking the time to gain advanced education, you will again set yourself up for success out in the field. The more you can accomplish while still in school, the better chance you have of reaching your goals quickly after graduation!
New York Institute of Beauty will assist you in making the most out of your time on campus. Student support services even extend to graduates of NYIB programs. So if you are ready to not only start your new career in the Beauty Industry, but want to do so in a school that will help you maximize you experience, give us a call at 631-582-4737!
