Hair Techs: Don't Go to Beauty School Without Your Survival Kit
If you enroll in a hair tech program at an accredited beauty school, make sure you are ahead of the game with a beauty school survival kit.
What is a Beauty School Survival Kit?
A beauty school survival kit is everything you need for hair training classes. From supplies to personal gadgets, the kit is filled with the essentials a hair technician uses during a successful program.
Essential Hair Tech Supplies
Every beauty school has its own requirements for supplies; however, some supplies are universal and usually required in large amounts. Stock up on these items from wholesalers or online retailers to ensure you are always prepared for your classes and your clients:
- Neck strips
- Mannequin heads
- Capes
- Steel hair clips
- Spray bottles
- Combs
- Rubber gloves
A sturdy bag is necessary to carry all of these supplies. A good option for hair techs is a carry-on luggage bag with wheels and an extending handle, for easy movement.
Investment Items
In hair design school, some of the items used quite often should be of high quality rather than quantity. These investment items directly impact the quality of your work, so shop around and buy the best you can afford. These tools include the following:
- Hair dryer
- Flat iron
- Styling brush set
- Curling Iron
Beauty School Study Materials
Along with the textbook, there are other study materials available to help you through training as a hair technician. Inquire about these study aids at your hair design school or online:
- Flashcards, to learn theory and definitions
- E-book and study note downloads, to enrich your textbook curriculum
- DVDS, to show hair design techniques and trends
- Trade shows, to see live hairstyling demonstrations
Personal Items
A hair technician survival kit is not complete without adding things to help you stay organized and focused during your studies. Examples of items include:
- Daily planner
- Cellular phone with reminder alarms for special events, exams, and important dates
- Pocket reference guide with cosmetology terms and techniques
- Pens, notebooks, and highlighters
Creating a hair technician kit is fun and can benefit a beauty school education greatly. Customize it to your specific needs and enjoy the feeling of being well prepared and informed during hair training.
