If you have a passion for beauty, you’ve probably already considered going to beauty school. If you love staying up to date with all the latest trends, then one of our programs could be the start you’re looking for. We know that this decision can be a big commitment. That’s why we always recommend scheduling a tour!
It can be a great way to explore the campus, meet instructors and students, and ask any questions you may have. We created this blog to give you our best tips so you can feel prepared as you head into your beauty school tour!

Make A List of Questions
A beauty school tour is the perfect opportunity to ask any and all questions! Bringing a list of questions is essential and can help you feel more prepared for your tour. The last thing you want to do is to leave your tour feeling like you still have questions. And the best way to get all your questions answered is by the experts most qualified to give them to you.
Which Questions Should I Ask?
From helping you figure how to pay for school to deciding which program is right for you, we have a team waiting to help you with your questions. If you plan on visiting multiple schools for tours, let the answers to your questions guide you when making a decision. Here is a list of questions that you can consider asking:
- What finance options do I have?
- What is the school’s culture like?
- What programs do you have?
- What can I expect to learn?
- What are the application requirements?
- What does a typical day look like for a student?
- Do you have any career services to help me get a job?
Dress To Impress
A tour is a chance for the school to get to know you too, so you want to start off with a good impression. They say that first impressions are made within five minutes of meeting someone, so it’s important to dress professionally. This is your future we’re talking about! Take time getting ready and dress to impress!
What To Bring
Nothing is required other than yourself. The most important thing is to just show up! However, we do recommend bringing a couple things to get the most out of your time!
- Pen and paper: This is important so you can jot down any important details or points of interest during the tour. This is also a great place to write down all the answers to your questions. You’ll have a reference to look back on later when making your final decision.
- Friend or family member: Having a support system during this time can make all the difference! You’re making a big decision and you’ll have a sense of peace during the process with a trusty friend or family with you. They can also lend an extra set of eyes and ears during the tour.
