E2. Beauty School is a SCAM!
Podcast available on
Beauty School is a Scam…but apprenticeships aren’t.
In this episode, Olive and Margaret dig into the crisis in beauty education: high tuition, low-quality training, student debt, federal aid controversy, and the corporate interests keeping the system in place. They break down why beauty school as we know it is failing workers, how apprenticeships can open the door to stronger training and labor protections, and what it would mean to build a future rooted in solidarity instead of exploitation.
Stay tuned for more episodes as they unpack the many facets of the beauty industry and bring research-backed insight, sharp analysis, and bold conversation to what it means to be a cosmetologist, barber, or esthetician in the 2020s.
