Frequently Asked
Questions
Q.
What makes your school different from the
other cosmetology schools?
A. We cannot speak for other schools. What
we do know is that we have an exceptional
staff dedicated to YOU. We are proud to
have literally thousands of hours of combined
experience, youth and innovation within
our instructors. Students do not just learn
the theories behind cosmetology, but actually
perform traditional and contemporary styles
for all types of hair. We use ONLY professional
products for both training and client services.
Through the years, we have developed a system
of training that focuses on the industry,
trends, state board requirements, but most
importantly, YOU.
Q. Does financial
aid cover the cost of training?
A. For almost all students, financial assistance
is available in a variety of forms of federal
education grants and loans. Because Earl’s
is a fully accredited school, we are able
to assist students with understanding and
applying for the funding needed. The majority
of students have their tuition completely
covered though these federal funds. Credit
checks are not required for student loans.
We are always willing to work out payment
plans for those who do not wish to or not
eligible to apply for federal funds.
Q. How long does school take to complete?
A. Although students will begin sessions
on a mutual start date, graduation dates
vary depending on schedules that students
choose as they progress. Students are required
to remain with their beginning class throughout
the Freshman session. Upon completing all
requirements for Freshman class, many students
opt to “excel”. This means that you can
attend additional hours per week thereby
reducing the time in school.
Typical course length is as follows:
Full-time: 1year +10 Days
Part-time: 18 months
Q. How much individual
attention can I expect from instructors?
A. We limit the size of sessions entering.
Class sizes range from 8 to 15 students
respectively. When students complete the
Freshman class and begin services on the
clinic floor, several “floor instructors”
are available for consultation during every
stage of the service being performed.
Q.
Will I have a lot of homework?
A. That is entirely up to you. Cosmetology
is not a field that you can read a book
about and then go cut someone’s hair. You
have to do it. At Earl’s you will participate
in theory as well as applying your skills
to the craft. The key is attendance. If
you are here and participate FULLY, you
will find that the majority of your work
will be completed at school.
