How do we do this?

One way is by holding ourselves to high standards.

What is Accreditation?

Accreditation is like a stamp of approval for beauty schools. It means that they have been recognized for their commitment to quality education. Being an accredited school is a way that we hold ourselves to a high standard at RFBS.

For a beauty school to get accredited they have to make sure that they are compliant to a strict set of guidelines. Their instructors have to be trained, certified, and professional. Their facilities have to be safe, clean, and comfortable. To get accreditation a school has to have certain things in place to help students succeed. This means that if you’re looking around at beauty schools to attend, you should always check to see if they are accredited.

Who Gives Accreditation

If accreditation is like a stamp of approval, who is giving the stamp?

The (NACCAS) is considered the leading agency that accredits beauty schools. from beauty schools who want their accreditation, or stamp of approval. They even send people to the school to see and feel what it is like there. NACCAS only gives their stamp of approval once they’ve reviewed what the school is teaching and how they’re teaching it. They want to make sure that students are getting the education they deserve.

Commitment to Quality

At RFBS we don’t just want to meet the NACCAS standards, we want to exceed them. We are always striving to find ways to provide a better education for our students. We are always aware of the NACCAS guidelines. We strive to not only meet those standards but to go above and beyond them. We do this because we love our students and are committed to helping them achieve their goals and build their dream career!

It Takes the Whole Team

RFBS has been accredited by NACCAS for over 30 years and was just reaccredited, with flying colors, for the next six years.*
*Ocean Township campus has provisional accreditation.*

Why is this a great victory for us?

We recognize that the reason we have been able to maintain such high standards is because of our amazing staff, students, and instructors. Everyone at RFBS plays a role in making the culture and atmosphere a positive one.

Here are 5 self employment options that licensed beauty pros can pursue.

1. Open a Salon

Want to run your own business? You can go all out and open up your own salon. Doing this can lead to a fast paced, exciting, and rewarding career. You can control how you run your salon. This includes how it’s decorated, what products you use, who works for you, and many other things.

Opening your own salon can be a lot of fun, but there are also a lot of things that can make it pretty tricky. For starters, it can be expensive. You will need a lot of money to help cover the expenses up front until you start bringing in enough revenue. Finding this “startup” money can be hard, but if you can get the money starting your very own salon is a great option.

2. Rent a Booth

If you want to jump right in and start building your own clientele, renting a booth can be a great way to do this. It takes much less money than starting a full blown salon.

If you don’t know how booth rentals work here’s a little explanation:

You can find salons that rent out the booths to individual beauty professionals. From there you basically run your own business, do things your own way, and work with your own clients. It’s a cool way to be your own boss with less upfront cost.

3. Weddings

There’s always a bride-to-be and their posse that are looking for an amazing beauty pro. They all need someone to do their hair and makeup on the special day. By building up your reputation on social media and by word of mouth, it’s possible to get a really good thing going.

4. Photoshoots

Get connected with the photography world. Photographers always need a talented hair and makeup artist. From editorial to engagement photo shoots and everything in between, a beauty pro can play a huge role in making good photos turn out great!

5. Freelance

Fashion shows, conventions, trade shows, here a little, there a little. Working freelance can give you the flexibility to work in a lot of different places doing a variety of different things. Taking this route can be really fun and help you meet a lot of new and interesting people. A great way to get a start as a freelancer is to talk to your friends and beauty school instructors. Ask anyone and everyone if they know of opportunities for you to use your hairstyling or makeup artistry skills. Once get things things rolling, more and more opportunities will come up.

Building Your Clientele

Knowing the correct procedures and going the extra mile to relax your client is crucial when it comes to building your book. Clients knowingly and willingly invite a stylist to their personal “comfort zone” every time they receive a service. They place a great amount of trust and confidence in the stylist when doing so. Therefore, it is extremely important to never betray that trust.

Building and Maintaining Relationships

A great way of keeping that trust is to provide your clients with an exceptional shampoo service. It lays a solid foundation for a solid client relationship and prepares the hair for the service you are about to provide. The client will use this experience to evaluate the professional experience of the stylist. If the client enjoys the shampoo she or he will have much more confidence in your ability as a stylist.

Employ Healthy Sanitary Conditions

Giving a shampoo service is to not only provide your client with a pleasurable and relaxing experience but to cleanse the hair and scalp. Proper hair and scalp analysis is important when it comes to determining what shampoo to use. An unclean scalp and dirty hair offers a breeding place for disease-producing bacteria which can lead to a scalp disorder. The comfort and protection of the client must always be considered when giving any professional service. These procedures enhance the client’s confidence in your abilities as a professional.

History proves that clients will return to a professional that has made them comfortable and who has treated them with great hospitality. Even if the client is not 100% satisfied with the outcome of their service they will return if you treat them properly. With that being said, a great shampoo service can be very beneficial to building your business!

Start With an Education
