Top Cosmetology Schools in Tennessee

Cosmetology is a good field for those interested in styling hair and in doing nails and facials. Many people are bright and good enough to start their own salons and can make money from the women and men working for them. That's the goal of most people who come into this field at the entry level. A fashionable salon can be a very lucrative business indeed, but it takes time, a lot of self-promotion and money for up-front expenses of renting the building, etc. The first step in starting on this career is finding and enrolling in a very good beauty school. Do the research and get information from as many as you can find. I wouldn't scrimp on education. Not all schools are the same or have equal reputations. I found several in Tennessee that would certainly be worth a look. Some had little information and I listed those last of all.

Vatterot College in Bartlett, TN was bought out by Wellspring Capitol in 2003, but is still operated under the same name. In addition to cosmetology training, the college provides courses in HVAC, IT Computing and a Medical Assistant program. The next semester begins May 28th of this year. Students will learn about chemicals, safety, and techniques for working with the hair, cutting, permanent wave and more.
