<p>Hello everyone!</p>

<p>I just made an account on here and I was looking for some advice on becoming a hairstylist in New York. I'm 18 and I'm currently in the process of getting my GED and then I want to go to cosmetology school and become a licensed hair stylist in the state of New York. The thing is that I can't make a decision on what cosmetology school I should go to.</p>

<p>I've been constantly looking up information on different schools in Manhattan and then I eventually came down to two schools - The Aveda Institute and The Arrojo Cosmetology School.</p>

<p>Both schools have tons of great reviews and seem like the best choices for cosmetology school in all of Manhattan. I've looked up the tuition for both schools and they're a little expensive but both schools have financial aid so money shouldn't be a problem. Both of the schools are also in the Soho neighborhood in Manhattan so they're both really close to me.</p>

<p>I'm just not sure what school to choose. I don't know anyone that's a hairstylist and I can't decide. Can anyone that's been to either school please tell me what school you think I should choose or give me some advice? It would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! <3</p>

<p>I would choose the Aveda Institute given a choice (similar tuition, etc). Unless the Arrojo is significantly cheaper in tuition. I’m not a stylist but I do use the local Aveda Institute for services (excellent services too). Good luck! We do have several Aveda Institute schools here in Michigan so the name is well known nationwide.</p>
