I am stuck between deciding if I should go for my natural hairstyling license or a cosmo license.
My real passion is hair extensions. I am already able and know how to install them in a few different methods. I live in Brooklyn, NY so I think the call for extensions should be pretty high. I'm willing to travel to any of the boroughs, CT, and NJ for a small fee therefore I think I'd be pretty available.
I'm not sure which license would benefit me more. With a natural hairstyling license I can still shampoo (if necessary.. which I'm thinking may not be too necessary with extensions?) and give a haircut with the extensions in. The only thing I couldn't do would color hair but personally, I'm not so sure that's something I really want to pursue. I guess it could be benefical but I'd much rather just be installing extensions like a crazy lady, lol.
I plan on offering cold fusion.. as well as link-in wefts. I thought about offering glue but I think it may be better to stay away from glue.
A cosmo license will take me several months longer but the school is closer to home where as the school for the natural hairstyling license if probabaly about a 30 min drive each way but it's for a shorter amount of time.
I really do not want to work in a salon as I find myself much happier being independent. I wouldn't mind sometimes working in a salon for extensions per say.. but I wouldn't want to work in a salon doing cuts and color.
What do you all think?

I would go for the Natural Hairstylist License, if that is the case. I will research more on this, now I am curious to know. Please let me know what you choose to do, very interesting topic! |

| I would go all the way there is no point in halfing something. And a LOT of people have their hair colored when they get extensions... aside from all that there is sooooooo much more to hair than just extensions that you will fall inlove with or doing... |
