I Passed!
I passed the TDLR Cosmetology Practical! I did have a glitch...believe it or not I could not open the fingernail polish! The base coat bottle was stuck, and that sucked. Big Time, but did manage to open the small bottle of the color. Wow, I should have pre opened the bottles at home. It was truly my bad, my bad.
I can say you have to really listen to the ladies at the testing site! Sanitize -sanitize- sanitize that's all I suggest. Have your kit organized to the "T". I rented my kit from school and I'm glad I did. I would not have been able to get everything as organized. I did notice others did not have rented kits. But all went well. The room was cold. Be sure that you practice the curl demo, and all of the other things that are required.
It's hard not to have a case of the nerves.
I'm glad that this journey is over and a new one will begin. Now, I will await for my LICENSE to come in the mail! A door closes and another one opens. It's a new beginning.

The Practical!
Well it is official, I was able to register, pay & schedule for my Practical Exam!
The only thing it does not happen right away, you have to first wait for your hours to be submitted to
TDLR. After this you will wait for the testing center website PSI to have your info. Once this is completed you are good to go. Now I wait for my date. Back to school to rent a test kit.
Practice a home is in order while I wait.

My hours are submitted, I have filled out all the necessary paperwork on my end. Now the wait for TDLR to get the information to PSI. This will allow me to pay, register & schedule the PRACTICAL EXAM! Now the waiting game. ;)
It's nice to be off from school......sad to say I do miss working on clients.

Finally!
I entered school on May 1, 2012 and graduated on April 2, 2013.
I had my exit interview, giving me the instructions on what to expect when taking my practical testing.
This testing can't come soon enough, now I have to wait for my hours to be submitted and then scheduling the test is the next step. I will upon satisfactory completion of the test receive my license!
After this the field is wide open. I must make the decision on were to apply. So for now rest and reflection is on my agenda.
It was certainly a rocky road to complete my cosmetology training. I received the basic knowledge for me to enter the work world. But much more is needed in my opinion. All I can say is you must focus on your training and try to do the very best on each client that you work on. Some you will do a great job others, not so well but they all are learning experiences. I'm glad I went over on my requirements.
I would have liked to have more extensive training and haircutting. But since my school had a heavy clientele and a lack of students; this was not the case. It's really too bad some students are not as focused as others.
I hope the school will look into this and make changes that will improve and encourage attendance.
I do thank all of those who helped me reach my goal.
