o/t hair school sucked today!

If this is this school's policies I wouldn't want to give them my money.  That is the most ludicrous thing I've heard!

Dunebug, you need to talk to a lawyer because if you switch schools your going to lose your tuition money.

I think I am going to see about transferring to another school. Its a bit of a drive but its just getting worse. Now they want me to bandage my hands to come into school as well. How can I wash a clients hair with bandages on my hands?
They told me today they have been 'lenient' with me till now, but tomorrow i will be sent home if I dont comply 100% with the policy.

I did meet with the woman in charge of this stuff before i started. She showed me the policy that said visible tattoos and piercings are 'discouraged' and I said 'ok... this is me, I can wear long sleeves and a high neck on my shirts but obviously i have stuff I can't hide. I can do whats in my power to meet your policy, is that going to be ok?' and she said yes.
Now she is saying she took that to mean I would comply with their policy 100% which by the way has changed from 'discouraged' to 'not allowed under any circomestances'

If they dont want visible tattoos at their school, they shouldnt admit and take money from someone with a tattood face and hands.

Girl  cosmetology school is very important, just like any other school. You need to feel comfortable everyday you walk into school, and you shouldn't feel like you are being harassed. The first thing I would do is talk to the owner and if that doesn't work. FIND ANOTHER SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!! Cosmetology hours are long and you want to do them and get out of there, to make the big money. DONT LET ANYONE STOP YOU NOT EVEN THAT ?ITCH AT THE SCHOOL. GOOD LUCK

get some gauze, tape it all over your tats-

My lip piercing is an inch by a half inch oval plug... so I don't think fishing line will help me out much. haha, I just cut a piece of band aid to the same shape as it and stuck it on the front of my plug. It looks ridiculous... but it shut them up.
What make up do people use at your club Kalika? I bought some Dermablend but it doesnt cover my stuff at all, I'm too pale and my tattoos are too bright, I may as well be putting ordinary foundation over them for all the difference it makes.
Malibu, the course is 10 months.
i wish they made band aids big enough to cover my stuff, haha, I would definately do it for a laugh... saying that though, they'd probably make me keep doing it just to spite me and make me look ridiculous so I wont get any clients! They seem malicious like that.

For the lip thing, take it out and put a piece of fishing line through as a retainer, and only plug it from the inside.  Then take a teeny, tiny piece of baindaid to cover the hole (like cut a little corner off).  I used to do that back when I had my lip pierced and you couldnt even tell unless you got up really close.

Dunebug, how long is this program?

wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww tangles that tattoo is lurvvvvvly i love it...dune  i didnt think people still behaved this way she is a total sh!t find the person that is in charge of her and report it as harrasment i sure would hope it all works out for you xx

speaking of tattoos, here is my latest one- and oh yeah- i have been behind the chair for over a decade and i also own my own 15 chair salon- tell that woman to get a life, go find another school, if she is harrassing you now, it will only get worse,
