Miss Alonso tell us about Houston training
schools well, Houston training
school is Santa Cosmetology school.
Provide education for a nail technician,
esthetician, and instructor program.
We guide them through the process for
their education and be prepared for
the beauty industry out there which is
a big one. I mean it's booming, right?
You know there's so many avenues
for education. Why make beauty
your business here at Houston?
Because number one is one of the
industries they never suffered.
The crisis is is 'cause
everyone would be pretty.
So this is one of those careers.
There you always going to have a job
because everyone will be pretty.
I mean, you're right,
you're exactly right
and I think there's so many of
us that maybe aspire to do this,
but then don't quite go for it because
we're intimidated or scared when people.
If there's people watching right now.
It's thinking like, oh,
this is maybe for me what
what do you say to them?
Well like why should they walk
through these doors?
What can you guys do for
them here that is going
to set them up for success?
Well we guide them a step by step
through the process of financial aid.
They qualified and if not we just
helping them with the process as well.
We have been in the industry for more
than 35 years so we are an expert on the
industries and one other school.
Can you go to and come out
with little to no debt?
Which is kind of what you guys
drive on here. Yes, they are ready to
go get the licening growing work and
start to make their own money. Yeah,
so is that how? I mean you guys
you you all set them up for
success from the moment they walk
through the door. Tell everybody
how easy is it to get started while
the students are either going to feel
the atmosphere of this school one day
or role they are going to start with.
The three faces first, second,
third phase for beginners.
Heavens so that way.
The students are very well
prepared for the state board test,
so we want to make sure the students
are passing not only because we
have 90% of the students passing,
but because we want to prepare
professional people for the field in town.
How quickly they
can be professional? Well, if they enroll
now, they can be ready
by the end of this year.
We have career like for example.
Net program are 600 hours.
So depending of their career. But
look where I started already calling.
Grateful Dead. In all seriousness,
they call today by the end of
the year, where would they
be now? They program license for example.
They is around six months.
OK, so if they enroll now by
the end of the year they could
have her license already.
Institution is 750 hours,
and cosmetology SAR 1000 hours.
So could be like a few more months.
I actually had been
doing security for about 17 years.
Beauty was always within me so it was
time for me to do something different.
I didn't feel for field,
so that's that begin the journey of
the search for a cosmetology school.
I really just came to get my Cosmo license,
but it wasn't until this alone,
so help me understand how much
potential I had to actually go
further and how creative I was and
how my customer service skills were.
So that was a big plus and and
she encouraged me to keep going
for the instructor license.
My experience as being a student.
It's wonderful.
I enjoy to interact with everyone.
That's one thing you know,
I love being around what my passion
is doing here in in helping others
graduate in October this year.
So my goals after I graduate is probably
start teaching or helping you know,
not directly going to Salon
somewhere where I could be useful.
You know, like helping people,
even cancer patients.
You know anything that has to do
with here and beautifying them,
making them feel good.
Started in October,
it takes about seven months to complete
the program and absolutely loved it.
I loved not only the instruction,
but the routine and the hands on experience.
I start working a week later after
graduation, having my own place,
my own studio in growing the
skills that I have been training
here and so far I'm my own boss,
super happy. We
we actually care is is beyond beauty
goes deeper than beauty. Is starts,
I think it starts with beauty with us,
but it ends with the heart.
So the passion for what we do in
the passion for for students,
if that's what they love
and that's their passion.
I would say go for it.
Let's go, you know, let's do it.
Let me help you let me
guide you. You know if that's what
you really like doing you can do it if
you enjoy helping people feel their
best then absolutely you can do it.
It is very worthwhile and a rewarding career.
