How to Choose the Right Cosmetology School for YOU!

 

If you know you want to start a career in Cosmetology – you’re in the right place! We have put together a list of some of the most important factors to consider when choosing a Cosmetology School. 

PHILOSOPHY

It is important that your values and outlook align with the school that you choose. 

Blue Cliff Career College values the inherent worth of each individual, whether a student, employee, or graduate. The school fosters an open environment for discussion and respect for different points of view.

FACILITIES

A cosmetology schools environment can make a huge impact on how you feel during the day-to-day in your program! 

Our Cosmetology Program has a clinic floor that is well equipped with classy styling stations, pedicure & manicure stations as well as a day spa setting & lobby. The 5 sinks and 10 hair dryers accent the facility and the presentation platform is located in the center of the action so it is available for demonstrations and hair shows. The clinic floor has 4 large screen televisions to enable video training.

The school’s library consists of computers surrounded with stylish glass walls to provide an excellent resource library experience. The school has several exceptional Apple Computers for students and faculty. Additional library materials including videos are available to students as well. Computer applications and web-site subscriptions enhance the learning resource library located near the front lobby

Blue Cliff Career College has an extensive history of offering community service to cities in our region. Some events the school has participated in, include blood drives, marathons, and cycling events. The school believes strongly in giving back to the community and trying to make a personal difference in people’s lives through a healing touch.

JOB PLACEMENT ASSISTANCE

One of BCCC’s primary goals, and a measure of the school’s success, is the employment of our graduates.

The staff receives frequent inquiries from prospective employers and then refers these inquiries and other employment opportunities to those graduates who choose to be on the school referral registry. Additionally, the Marketing course prepares students to enter the Massage Therapy, Cosmetology or Esthetics fields as a private practitioner by providing an array of practical marketing techniques and a strategy for success. Although we do offer the above assistance, Blue Cliff Career College specifically disclaims any guarantee of job placement for the student upon graduation. Placement services and recommendations to employers are influenced by student attitudes and performance.

The school Director of Education actively stays in contact with local employers and helps in the promotion of Blue Cliff Career College graduate employment. On occasion, employers will come on campus to either interview students or simply make presentations to promote employment at their businesses. As positions and job opportunities become available in the community, BCCC (the Placement Coordinator) contacts graduates about these positions and works with them to submit resumes to these employers. BCCC will provide the information to graduates and graduates are tasked with setting up the interview. BCCC will follow up with the graduate to find out the time and date of the interview. The placement coordinator encourages the graduates through the process. BCCC staff uses technology and social media to stay in touch with graduates and assist with job placement.
