As you all know, I attend hair school and love every second of it! My hair school BFF recently blogged about an issue that is especially affecting us right now. I hope Julie is ok with me quoting her blog. I feel 100% the things she puts so perfectly into words.
"So it was no secret I wanted to attend hair school since I was really little. I got distracted from this desire and after 3 years at BYU I was reminded just how badly I wanted hair school. Its my "passion" if you will. Well when I started to look seriously into fulfilling my dream I was shocked and discouraged. The cheapest school I could find was over $10,000. There was no way I could justify that debt to get my dream education. So I kept searching and hoping I could find a way. MATC was that way. At less than half the cost of the cheapest school, hair school became a dream within reach. It sounds cheesey but without it I could have never been able to do it. Well now I have been attending since January and I absolutely love everything about it. The program is fantastic. My instructors are simply incredible. I get the attention I need, the training I need, and most of all I love going every day. When I first saw how cheap tuition was I thought there had to be a catch. I was wrong. It is really an incredible school and I feel like I am as well trained (if not better) as any other hair school student out there.
Why this MATC tangent you may ask? Well all the private hair schools have banded together and hired a lobbyist to try and shut my school down. They claim we are too much competition and some other things. I don't really understand the specifics. I do understand that this is a serious issue. Excuse the cliche phrase but MATC really does make dreams come true for people like me who felt their dream was out of reach. It is a great program and needs to continue."
When I first heard about these private schools wanting to shut our school down, I was afraid for myself. What was I going to do? Where would I go to finish my hours? How would I afford to pay more tuition? Then after I thought for a while, I started realizing how much it would affect everyone that is involved in any way with MATC. Where would my instructors find a new job? Where would all the students go to finish their hours? How would any of us afford more tuition? What about the students who want to go to a great cosmetology school in the future and can't afford upwards of $10,000?
I don't know why these schools think it's fair to take this education and this dream away from over 50 students. If there is a message that I can tell you from this, it's that I love MATC. It's a great school. The private schools are coming to tour our school tomorrow with their lobbyist, I hope they see what an amazing program our school offers and that we have dedicated, talented instructors that would do anything for any of us. I hope the outcome of this is
