Surround yourself with positive people. I went to Redken the Quest many years ago and it helped me. A lot of it is attitude. Don't work at 5 dollar shops. If you can't find a job right away work at a chain with education and soak up all the knowledge you can. When you get experience, at least a year then it will be easier to find a job. Find a salon that you admire. Go to shows and business classes. You will find inspirational education there. Once you find a salon then stay there. Don't move around a lot.
You will not be able to change some peoples attitude but you can control your own. Dress and act professional. I think the ones who look down on stylists are the el cheapos that don't want to pay for services. Be careful not to do family and friends at home while you are in school because they will never pay for professional services in the salon. This is true 99 per cent of the time. Good Luck.
