Cosmetology is a diverse field that includes hairstyling, nail care, and skin care. Graduates of cosmetology schools are prepared to work in salons, hotels, and spas. Career possibilities are endless for graduates of qualified training programs, and, depending on their interests, cosmetologists can perform a wide variety of tasks, including:
Many cosmetologists choose to work as hairdressers. Within this profession, they can have many specialties. As they begin their careers, trained cosmetologists sometimes work as shampooers, washing clients’ hair to prepare them for other services, like haircuts and coloring. They may also sanitize and sterilize equipment. From there, cosmetologists will usually move up to performing more advanced, detailed tasks, like haircutting, coloring, applying permanent waves, and chemically straightening hair. They apply scalp treatments, provide hair analysis, and advise clients about how to care for their hair at home.
Cosmetology training also leaves graduates qualified to work as nail technicians. They can perform manicures, pedicures, and other nail treatments to both heal nails and make them look great. Cosmetologists also frequently perform skin treatments to leave their clients’ skin refreshed and healthy.
Many cosmetologists move up from stylist or nail technician positions to become managers of salons or perhaps even own their own salons. In this capacity, cosmetologists can be responsible for hiring and firing, dealing with customers, ordering supplies, and any number of other management tasks.
Cosmetology is a rewarding career with many different options for advancement and specialization. As a graduate of the hairdressing and cosmetology program at the Hair Design Institute, you’ll be prepared for professional success, no matter where you choose to work or what you choose to do.
