Why Study Cosmetology
Not many jobs offer you the chance to be creative every day and be paid for your skill and efforts. You generally work in clean, fun surroundings, providing personal care to individuals who appreciate your expertise in making them look their best. Personal care service is a growing field and cosmetology skills are always in demand. If you have an eye for appearance and style, personable communication skills and good hand dexterity, this may be the career field for you.
Career Opportunities
Job opportunities for licensed, entry-level cosmetologists are very favorable says the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The BLS cites growing demand for expert personal appearance care and treatments. Competition for positions may be keen at higher-end salons with the edge going to licensed cosmetologists with training and experience in a range of services. While the median salary for hair dressers, stylists and cosmetologists in May 2010 was $22,760, with experience a skilled cosmetologist can build an ever-growing and well-paying client base. Opportunities even exist for you to run your own business!
