Hello Hair Geeks! I am 23 and I have been doing hair since my junior year of high school but have recently gotten the opportunity to finish cosmetology school and eventually acquire my license. Right now I am at a bit of a crossroad in my life and I find myself in a situation where I don't have too many resources or very much guidance as to how I should go about this.
Come June 2014 I will be moving to Manhattan to live with my partner who is already living on the Upper West Side, this is immediately after I complete my schooling. New York State doesn't reciprocate Texas licensure but will acknowledge my accumulated hours and education.
As of right now my main concern is whether a salon in Manhattan will even consider me without much experience in a salon.
I would appreciate any tips on how I should approach the situation and present myself to prospective employers. I am going to be visiting in 2 weeks and I am unsure if I should go and spot out salons or attempt to get information on the state board exam.
On the same token, I am lacking preparation for the NY State Board exam and I cannot find very much information on procedures.
Thank you very much for any help!
P.S. I apologize if my thread is in the wrong place. :o
