Beyond Cosmetology School

Cosmetology school lays the foundation, but it's just the beginning. It equips you with the basics, helps you snag that license, but then what? If you're feeling like there's a whole world of untaught secrets to success, you're not alone. The real magic happens beyond the textbooks, in the hands-on, real-world experiences that transform a stylist from good to unforgettable. That's where Straight Out of Cosmo's Success Shadowing program steps in.
