During your visit, you’ll be able to talk with instructors and students to get a general idea of what you could expect from your education. It’s important that you get the most out of this crucial part of your research. That’s why we’ve created this list of 7 questions you should ask during your beauty school tour. Keep reading to find out what they are!
1. Does Your School Offer Financial Aid?
Investing for your beauty school education is a big commitment. One of the first questions you should make sure to ask is whether they are an accredited beauty school that allows them to offer financial aid options available to students who qualify. Since Innovate Salon Academy is approved by the Department of Education, we have the opportunity to offer financial aid to those who are eligible.
The first step to starting the financial aid process is filling out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. Although we provide links to starting this form and the student code needed to complete it, you can always use your tour to get more information about it. Maybe you have specific questions about your personal finances and how financial aid can help pay for your education. We will have multiple team members who are qualified to help you with this stage of your beauty journey!

5. What Makes Your Beauty School Stand Out?
