Cosmetologist Training - Career Options
|
What it involves:
Cosmetologists work mainly in salons and department stores, their duties include performing hair styling, waxing, manicures and skin care services. In order to work as a cosmetologist you must first get your license in the state you wish to work in. Cosmetologists are sometimes called beauticians or aestheticians. Many experienced cosmetologists may specialise in one discipline e.g. hair, skin or nails. To start off you need a broad range of skills to be employable. With experience and a good client base built you can then choose to specialise.
Cosmetologist Certification:
To become a cosmetologist you must first get a license. In order to do this you must graduate from cosmetologist school and be at least 16 years of age. When choosing a school look for one that is in a convenient location and best serves your needs. Make sure the school is accredited by a professional body and try and talk to any past graduates that might be able to give you advice. As all schools have their own enrolment and tuition requirements, it is important to contact them before enrolling.
Most states require applicants to pass an additional examination and work 1200 credit hours to certify as a cosmetologist. You may also need to show your ability by performing basic cosmetology tasks in a practical examination. Some salons offer apprenticeships, this can be used to complete the credit hours requirement but can not substitute for graduation.
Career Progression:
Many senior cosmetologists specialise in one area, once you are established you may wish to set up your own salon or work on a freelance basis. You might also wish to become a salon manager in a large salon. As many cosmetologists are paid on a commission basis it is difficult to leave the salon environment where you have a good client base built, use of facilities and a good location to attract a good trade. Tips are a great added source of income to cosmetologists on top of basic pay.
