Career as Cosmetologist

share

In the beauty industry, a cosmetologist is more than just a hairstylist - they are people on the cutting edge of trends and styles in hair and beauty techniques, and they can transform their clients from simple to spectacular in a single sitting. According to the Princeton Review, cosmetologists “are often the initiators of style and change.” As one, you must learn to cut, color and style all types of hair, as well as do straightening, permanent waves, curling, weaves, extensions and other hair services.Cosmetologists, also sometimes called “beauticians,” aren’t limited just to hairstyling. Their job description might also involve doing manicures, pedicures and nail services, and even the basics of applying makeup for customers. They should also be knowledgeable in the field of esthetics, the division of cosmetology which focuses on skin care and includes services like facials, extractions and wraps, though some states require an esthetician license to perform these services professionally. Also important to a their job description is maintaining a safe, clean and sanitary salon environment at all times, and being able to follow the state's procedures for blood-borne pathogen management if the stylist or the client were to get nicked with the shears.
