Pursue a career in beauty services, cosmetology and other related professions!
Cosmetology Work: Cosmetology professionals are responsible for the personal appearance of their clients. In addition to the basics of their job, a cosmetologist may provide advice to their clients about how to care for their hair, types of hair care products to buy and use, hair color, and more.
Cosmetology professionals may also give their clients manicures, pedicures, or scalp and facial treatments.
Cosmetology Skills: The cosmetology profession requires a great deal of interpersonal skill and an ability to communicate effectively with clients, as the cosmetologist is helping clients with their personal appearance and even their self image.
Cosmetology jobs also require an understanding of the latest trends in personal appearance and fashion. Since a large percentage of cosmetologists are self-employed, a fair degree of business savvy is also important.
Cosmetology School Courses: Courses in cosmetology schools train you in all aspects of personal care, including personal hygiene, haircutting and hairstyling, skin care, scalp care, facial massaging and more.
Some cosmetology students may opt to have a more specialized focus in their course work, and take courses in manicures, pedicures, and electrolysis.
Cosmetology schools also generally include practice on live "customers" in school shops used for training purposes.
Cosmetology Employment: A large percentage of cosmetology school graduates are self employed, often working as part of a larger salon.
Other cosmetology professionals work on salary within the salon. About 90% of cosmetologists work in various aspects of hair and facial care, with the remainder finding employment as manicurists, pedicurists, skin care specialists, or shampooers.
Job prospects for graduates of cosmetology schools are expected to be excellent.
