What Tools Will I Need for Cosmetology School?

necessary cosmetology school tools

If you will be starting beauty school soon, then you are probably getting ready to shop for cosmetology school supplies. Depending on which beauty school you decide to go to, there may be some supplies that are included in your tuition cost. You will want to find out what supplies each school offers before choosing where to go.

You will probably spend your first semester in cosmetology school learning about the fundamentals. Therefore, you probably will not need to purchase a lot of supplies during the first semester. After you have taken your basic courses, you will need to get some supplies for the hands-on part of your training.

How Much Will I Spend On Cosmetology School Supplies?

The amount of money that you spend on school supplies depends on what you have to buy, where you go to buy it, and the quality of the items that you choose to buy. Some of the things you have to think about are the tools you will need to accomplish the technical part of your job, the text books required by your school, a uniform to wear when working in the salon, and a few other things.

The big salon equipment is typically supplied by the cosmetology school. Hair dyes, combs, brushes and scissors are examples of some of the supplies that you will need to bring on your own. The good news is that a lot of these supplies are available in kits so you can get everything in one convenient package. At Evergreen Beauty College, your kit is included in the cost of your tuition.

Your kit will include many of the following items that you will need to complete cosmetology school.
