Hello everyone at Behind the chair,

I use to be  a regular on here so to speak back in 2005 when I was going through Beauty School. We'll I have left the field shortly after I got into it. I felt my training was bad at school as I was also told at the Great Clips I had worked for. I first started out at a Regis because I thought they would offer good training but they didnt so then I went to a Great clips and I did learn how to do a clipper cut but nothing else. I was always nervous plus I was on diet pills and they made me shake like a nut lol lol. Anyway needless to say I had good days and bad,. though more bad days and like someone posted, I too got sick everytime a client walked in the door.  But I have missed the industry and want to get back into it... Can someone after a 4 year absence. I will have to go and take the practical part of the test which I never took cause I had choose to quit. I did take theory and passed so I dont have to take the theory again... I wonder if salons would hire me after being out of the industry for 4 years. I  think this time it could be better, I feel I would be able to shrug off the negatives and not let them get to me. I'm also nevrous about the practical exam. I have been on the website and know what they want you to do. I feel I know enough to wing it on the hair part, dont know how much i can remember for the mani part though. Id hate to buy all the supplies that I had once but gave away....(which I am shooting myself in the foot for) just to fail the exam..

Thanks vivid,

do you think it will be hard for me to get work in a salon after being gone for 4 years? thats what im worreid about
