State Board Kit

Before getting my license from state board, I had to first purchase a state board kit. Which was $125, plus a study book called National and State Testing For Cosmetology that was $45.00. Even so I only open the first 10 pages.lol.

The day I Pick up my kit, I decided to check it and take picture for anybody to replicate it, for school use.

Meaning you should only replicate it, if you're going to use it in school. Why???? Do I suggest this... because ..

1. If you replicate it, & forget something ... (you're chancing if you pass/fail stateboard)

2. If anything is un-sanitize in your kit, meaning it's dirty or it has hair Etc, you may be docked points, depending on your examiner.

3. Some kit company will give you free state board classes, as you buy a kit from them. (When I went to the classes I found them very useful towards stateboard news). Let's just say they were like TMZ, but for state board. They also give you guide lines in how to pass state board & helpful advice.
---They are the ones who told me about no more facials in stateboard and how starting in March-ish no more models are necessary for the state board exam, only a manikin, & a fake hand. (lucky!!).


The pictures, is a checklist I had to fill out before checking out my kit. (Ignore all my side notes etc)

Last two weeks of Cometology School.

My last two weeks of school was bittersweet, because I was able to go night and day, meaning I had school at 8am in the morning till 2:30pm and went back again at 4:30pm till 10:00pm at night. In total of 60 hours of COSMETOLOGY school per week ah!!! (This included my weekend =[ )

Yet, it was one of the most memorable day of my cosmetology life, because I was able to learn whatever I desired, in the morning class all thanks to a passionate teacher, who not only love her profession, but her students as well.

Why was I so crazy going night and day?????

Well it probably because, if you put 25 girls in a single room for more than 1500 hours, their bound to be drama, especially if your in a cosmetology school. There was so much drama and backstabbing bitches that they drove away a teacher to retire/leave of absence. But when I look back at it now, I kind of laugh because lets just say that teacher is not only an ordinary teacher but Platform Artist in the real world. lol.
-I also wanted to graduate faster, because of some time conflict with my Fullerton school.

So the first week started and i'm glad that two of my closest cosmetology friends were able to join me Adrianna Alvadaro and Edwin Garcia. We originality from the night class and join the morning class for the last two weeks of my cosmetology school. Luckily we were able to stay at Ms.T class, were she let us decided what we wanted to learn etc. We then voted to learn up-dos since we were neglected in that subject from the night class.

Here are some of my up-dos work.

My first time doing a hair bow

On the left side of the bow, I used a hair net: to control the hair & shape it.

I tease & knotted my hair doll so that I'm able to do bee hive!

This is the bee hive!

So all these up-dos were accomplish in the first week of class.....

One of the things I like about the ISSE, is all their educational demos, like this one; Eyelash extension
and Minkys actually had a private classes during the ISSE.

Went to a class, and they demonstrated haircuts, and style.  

Martin Parson work.

Yes, that is me and Martin Parson. He is famous for his artwork in Updo's.
(If anybody likes updos google his ass lol)

ISSE has many guest like Jessica Vartoughian, she is the maker of her own polish... Jessica.

Saw her in the press room with her body guard, didn't take picture, because she was relaxing and I wanted her to rest.

Nick Arroyo was on stage most of the time, cutting peoples hair, & his assistances cut my friend Mia hair on stage.

Of course a good hair show will always have some exotic hairstyles etc

Don't worry guys, my next post will probably be on the shopping!!!!
