Progression equates to higher earnings as cosmetologists graduate from cosmetology school, gain experience, and build a steady clientele. Some cosmetologists manage salons or cosmetology schools, lease booth space in salons, or open their own salons after several years of experience. Others teach in barber or cosmetology schools or provide training through vocational cosmetology schools. Still others advance to become sales representatives, image or fashion consultants, or examiners for State licensing boards.
Overview
All States require cosmetologists to be licensed; henceforth, attending a cosmetology school is critical. To be eligible for a license, most job seekers are required to graduate from a State-licensed cosmetology school.
A high school diploma or GED is required for some personal appearance workers in some States. In addition, most States require that cosmetologists complete a cosmetology program in a State-licensed cosmetology school. Cosmetology programs in hairstyling, skin care, and other personal appearance services can be found in both high schools and in public or private postsecondary vocational cosmetology schools. Personal appearance workers attend training at salons, cosmetology schools, or industry trade shows throughout their careers.
Full-time cosmetology programs in barbering and cosmetology school usually last 9 months and may lead to an associate cosmetology degree, but training for manicurists and pedicurists and skin care specialists requires significantly less time. Makeup artists can attend cosmetology schools that specialize in this subject, but it is not required. Shampooers generally do not need to attend a school of cosmetology. Most professionals take advanced cosmetology courses, at a cosmetology school, in hairstyling or other personal appearance services to keep up with the latest trends. Business skills are important for those who plan to operate their own salons, which can be learned at a school of cosmetology.
