Become a Cosmetologist

A cosmetology license can open the door to an extensive variety of career options. For hairstylists/designers, the typical career path begins with an entry-level salon/spa position where you may begin by shampooing and gradually, service by service, work your way up the levels. Your cosmetology license can take you in any direction, depending on the depth of your passion for your career and craft and how much you are willing to invest in continuing education. You can build a loyal clientele, help your team succeed, help the owner grow the business, and become involved in competitions, photo shoots, trade show and industry platform presentations, educational presentations, and more.

Also, you could own your own salon/spa. Plus, no one is stopping you from trying to build a career in the entertainment industry—television programs, music videos and movies could not be made without the skills of hairdressers, nail technicians, and makeup artists. Like any career, in order to be successful, one must have ambitions and pursue goals in a methodical and ethical manner.

This career pathway will provide you with a broad knowledge of cosmetology and prepare you for your state certification exam to become a state licensed cosmetologist.
