Do I need formal training or can I learn on my own?

Formal training accelerates your learning and gives you a strong foundation. Learning on your own is possible but much slower and more error-prone.

What if I cannot afford academy training?

Some programs offer payment plans or financing options. Some offer scholarships or sliding scale pricing. Ask about these options.

Can I get a job as a loctician without academy training?

Some salons will hire and train you on the job. But having formal training makes you much more hireable and allows you to command higher pay.

How do I know if an academy program is legitimate?

Ask for references, look at student testimonials, ask about the instructor's credentials, and make sure the program covers all four areas comprehensively.
