Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Well I went to a beauty school for skin care, and frankly, I've never heard of this but I guess it makes sense. The school is trying to prepare you for the day when a client may come in and have lice. Yikes!. I remember we had a training session with a person from the state who told us what we should do is a client of our confessed that her significant other was beating her. OK, so now we are social workers. And guess what. That is exactly what hair dressers become! And you will love it. Because people tell just about everything to their hairdressers.
Well think of this.
The school is trying to prepare you to PREVENT AN OUTBREAK at the salon you work at. Lets say a client does come in with lice. Are you and maybe other employees going to just pass her around and pass he around until some unsuspectting hairdresser gets stuck with her and services her, but doesn't deal with the lice then the lice get on towels, and chairs and combs and brushes, and now you are spread the lice to other clients, so then customers and the health department realize that a souce of the lice is your salon, and they close you down, and then people start to sue and then you have no money no job and have to go to court to defend yourself, but you loose, and get sued for thousands of dollars. You loose your license and no one else will hire you.......
should I go on??????
Honey if you are going to be a hairdresser you need to know what to do in a situation like this so you can prevent catching it yourself, or spreading it. Pay attention. It's important.
Having lice doesn't necessarily mean that someone is dirty. IT really is passed on very easily and very innocently. You can get it sitting on an airplane from the seat cover, if the person before you had them. Here you are going on a $6,000 vaction and the person who sat in that seat before you had head lice. So what are ya' gonna do. Better to know how to treat them like an expert than to make matters worse.
The school will do everything in it's power to protect you. But I am wondering, where the heck are they going to find a person who had head lice for you to treat them?
Do don't drop out. You have to be prepared in case it ever happens. It is kinda like being a doctor.

just tell the school exactly what you told us. that you are scared of them. there is no way to be brave about them. everyone feels the same way about lice. just talk to them and see if they can give you another challenge. their choice! maybe even tell them that you are allergic to them? lol. but if you want to be a hair dresser, then one day you are going to come accross a person who has lice. Its better to practice now so in the future you are good. just get it over with!. maybe even wear gloves?? so that way you are not actually touching them.
I hope I helped!
