By: Leslie Bath, Master Cosmetologist Hi everyone, and welcome to Cosmetology 101! I’m so excited you’re here. This community is for anyone who wants to truly understand hair—from the inside out. Whether you are a cosmetology student, someone who wants to learn how to do hair at home, or you just want to improve your beauty skills, you are in the right place. Here, we break everything down in simple, easy-to-understand lessons. I explain topics the way I wish someone had explained them to me when I first started. We will cover: ✨ How hair is built—cuticle, cortex, medulla, bulb, papilla, and more✨ Why hair reacts the way it does✨ How products really work✨ Step-by-step tutorials✨ Study tips for the Milady (yes, spelled M-I-L-A-D-Y) exam✨ Practice questions and breakdowns for the hardest topics✨ Lessons on chemistry, color theory, perms, relaxers, and haircut basics My goal is for you to feel confident, prepared, and skilled, even if you’re brand new. Make yourself at home, introduce yourself, and jump into the first lesson whenever you’re ready.I’m so glad you're here!— Leslie Bath

Welcome to Cosmetology 101 Welcome to Cosmetology 101, a community created and led by Leslie Bath. I’m so excited you’re here. This isn’t just another beauty group — this is a full cosmetology learning experience designed for everyone, from total beginners to students preparing for their state board exam. In this class, we won’t just talk about hair the way traditional cosmetology schools do. We’ll break it down in a way that’s simple, practical, step-by-step, and perfect for real life. You’ll learn how to create beautiful results at home with the tools you already have, so you can build confidence in your skills whether you’re in a salon, in school, or standing at your bathroom mirror. If you are a cosmetology student, you’re in the right place. I’ll walk you through everything in the Milady textbook, plus the tips, tricks, and techniques I’ve learned throughout my career. From theory to chemistry to haircutting foundations, you will leave here more prepared, more confident, and ready to pass your exam. This community is built on learning, support, and real cosmetology education — and I’m going to make a big fuss about helping you become the best version of yourself as a future stylist, nail tech, esthetician, or beauty professional.
