There are many different types of careers in the cosmetology field. The different types are; hairstylist, perm or hair color specialist, manicurist, pedicurist, barber, or esthetician. Anyone can major in one of these careers, multiple ones, or all of them. It doesn't matter how many they major in, they will still be considered a cosmetologist. To get a major in cosmetology, it is required to take a class in the career you are interested in. A typical cosmetology training program typically lasts nine months to about a year. Students are instructed on hair styling and cutting, scalp treatments, hair color, manicures and pedicures, chemical texture services, acrylic nail application, massages, facials, and eyebrow shaping. A student then takes advanced courses to expand their knowledge in this career. These courses may include studies on scalp disorders and diseases, scalp analysis, color application techniques, hair cutting tools, main principles of hair design, hair removal, massage techniques and benefits, cosmetology law and safe work practice. Once the course is finished, including service hours, the person then has to take and pass a state exam on the course. Once the exam is passed, the person then receives their certificate.

According to 10 Weird and Wacky Beauty Facts by Andrea Lavinthal, in ancient Greece, the most sought-after hair color was blond. Not many Greeks were naturally blond, so light hair was probably perceived as beautiful because it was so exotic. Women would lighten their hair using plant extracts or arsenic. They also washed their locks with a mixture of ashes, olive oil, and water. She also explained how “it was a shame that extension weren’t available during the Heian period when a Japanese woman’s beauty was judges by the length of her hair, since the ideal was considered almost two feet longer than her waist. We’re assuming that ponytails were a popular hairstyle back then.” There are many other crazy facts about beauty facts like Vaseline makes your eyelashes grow and can take off makeup, or if your finger nails are discolored from using dark polish, use a slice of lemon on them and they will regain their color (The beauty magazine, Roselyn Miller, pg. 67). Going into the field of Cosmetology helps you express yourself and it brings out your inner creativity. That is one of the many reason I love this line of work, because when I do hair it lets me express myself while creating a hairstyle of my own. The first time I started doing hair was when I was about 10 or 11, I was a natural! I want to be able to know my clients and exactly what will look right on my clients and read people, so I would know what they do like just by talking to them. I need to learn to separate family from business. I do know some things about this field I before this assignment that cosmetology is not just about doing hair, it’s also about learning about the Skin; Doing make up, eye lashes, etc. You also learn about nails; doing a...
This job is said to be “a job that provides a helpful service which that means that it cannot be accomplished by automated machines” (Beautyschooldirectory-.com). We all need haircut, manicures, pedicures, facials, waxing, perms, relaxers…etc. We simply care about our physical, about our looks and about what people say. We all want to be up to date with all the new trends, some people it is a demand. It helps them feel better about themselves. But the good thing is that not everyone is capable of doing this, because a licensed is required to do those services listed above by law. Where ever you go, there will always be a spot for a cosmetologist. The job security of a cosmetologist can be described now days as “The harder you work, the more you make” (www.jobmonkey.com). Everything depends on the person, and how much ambition you have to

Employment of estheticians is expected to grow by 13% between the year 2016 and 2026, because of the increased interest in the general population to reduce and prevent the signs of aging. The average yearly salary for an esthetician in 2016 was $30,270, while the average hourly salary was $14.55. Compared to the median yearly salary of $37,040 for all workers within the United States in 2016, an esthetician’s salary is somewhat less than average. Of course, depending on what type of setting an esthetician is employed by and how many clients they see daily, their salary can be more or less than the national average. Within a day spa or med spa, the estheticians are typically commission-based, while also receiving gratuity from clients. The average hourly salary for this type of employment is $12.98. In a dermatology office, estheticians are usually paid by an hourly or yearly salary, and gratuity is not customary. The average hourly salary for this type of employment is
One needs good customer service; one cannot be rude. One also needs to be patient and prepared to stand all day. Other necessary skills include cutting hair for men and women, coloring hair, styling, doing facials (such as makeup), and doing manicures and pedicures.
I have many talents and interest that will help me succeed in the cosmetology field like communication skills, business skills, a sense of creativity and technical skills. Many people enroll in hair school to learn the basic fundamental skills to become an outstanding candidate in the field. A cosmetologist’s creativity skills, business skills and communication skills need to be very effective. Other skills are required as well, but without basic skills a cosmetologist will not succeed in the industry. How can you operate a business without knowing any of the basics? How can you work on someone’s head without knowing what style would fit their face perfectly? As a cosmetologist sometimes you have to let your client know its okay to try new styles and that everything will not always work on them. As new trends are invented or start to resurface from previous years you will need to stay updated.
...and twisted individual ponytails using small sections of hair.

Cosmetologists work with nothing but hair, makeup and nails. Those are one my favorite things to do. Everything a cosmetologist does are fun to experiment with and try new things with. For example, I can also express myself with dramatic looks and different colors or just an everyday natural look. It can also be very artistic and very detailed.Makeup can also cover up imperfections and insecurities people
These are the reasons why I would love to be a cosmetologist in the future.
Becoming a cosmetologist would mean a lot of hard work and a lot of studying. I want to open my own business and be my own boss. I love to do things with my hair, my favorite is french braiding it or other people's. WHEN I open my own business I want to hire people I can trust. I also think it would be fun to have my family members come in and me do their hair, nails, or whatever they want done. Cosmetology is an extraordinary job I hope to have one

Cosmetologists and clients both are being affected by improper sanitation and care. Cosmetologists are always going to stay in their work space until their shift is over. They will continually be breathing the dangerous fumes from the many different chemicals being used. These fumes will possibly cause some health hazards in their future. Clients will be coming in and out of the salon to get their services done. If there are improper cleaning skills and cosmetologists show less care towards their clients health, the client will possibly be getting a bacterial disease or maybe even a deadly disease. Diseases like hepatitis, HIV and AIDS can be possibly infect your tools. Cosmetologist and nail technicians do not know who will be coming in and out of the salon.
