Have a talent for working with hair, skin, or nails? Then a career in cosmetology may be right for you. From manicurists to shampooers, and hairdressers to makeup artists, the field of cosmetology encompasses both a wide variety of interests and career opportunities for beauty savvy students.
Those who prefer an ever-changing, flexible work schedule and prefer working with people may enjoy working in one of the many careers encompassed within the field of cosmetology.
Here are just a few of the many rewarding career options an education in cosmetology may lead you:
Whatever you call it-- hairstylists, hairdressers, barbers or cosmetologists, the most common form of cosmetology involves cutting, shampooing, and styling hair. Hairstylists may also color and/or perm hair and often advise their clients as to how to most efficiently care for their hair.
For those who would enjoy a more specialized career within the field of cosmetology, the job of a colorist (or color technician) may be more suitable. Colorists specialize primarily in the creative elements of color, whether it be highlighting, low-lighting, or applying base color to a client's hair. Generally speaking, colorists work directly under the direction of hairstylists to provide complete beauty service to their clients.
Manicurists, pedicurists and nail care technicians provide cosmetic beauty treatments for hands and feet. While all virtually similar in nature, manicurists specialize specifically with hands, pedicurists with feet, and nail care technicians with nails. A standard manicure usually includes filing, shaping, and applying polish to nails. A similar practice performed on the feet is a pedicure.
