Cosmetology education has become a favored career choice for many these days. A chance to work in the beauty & fashion industry makes this such an attractive career option.

Cosmetology schools across US are seeing an increase in the number of admissions as more and more students enroll for courses related hair, nail and beauty. It seems cosmetology education students are determined to make a career in this industry that not only promises name and fame but also provides an opportunity to work with red carpet celebrities.

One of the primary reason for the increase of admissions in cosmetology schools is enhanced awareness about this industry. There are various resources from where students can get information these days. Also, many professional companies like Wella, L’Oreal, etc. have dedicated professionals who act as mentors for students and amateur stylists.

The level of online cosmetology education has also raised in the last five years. This has propelled the growth of the hair industry and is also providing an opportunity to thousands of enthusiasts to join this industry.

Don’t be surprised by the title of this post. Its indeed true that continuing cosmetology education can make you super rich, according to a study. And whats more interesting is that cosmetology industry is going to offer enormous employment opportunities in near future.

Popular sites like Yahoo!, US news and World Reports have inferred that cosmetology is one of the top jobs and education for cosmetology is a bright career option. Even the U.S. Department of Labor and the National Accrediting Commission of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences indicates that employment of cosmetologists and skin care specialists through 2010 is projected to grow between 20 and 30 percent.

So what makes cosmetology education such a hot career option? According to Jim Cox, Executive Director of the American Association of Cosmetology Schools “Its the popularity of makeover programming and a general interest in anti-aging.”

But other factors which are of equal importance are: entrepreneurial opportunities, attractive earnings and diverse work environments. Also the availability of tutorials on the internet makes this a preferred career option. With a high speed internet connection anyone can have education for cosmetology in the comfort of their home. There is no specific requirements to find a job in this industry except that you should be creative and hard working.

One of the famous online cosmetology program is The Cutting Edge Hair Show. It is a very popular show that highlights and demonstrates how to achieve various hairstyles, benefits of hair care products, hair shears, etc. Also, it shows you how the real experts in hairstyling go about their daily job. Its really awesome to get a sneak peak into the popular hair salons and see the experts in action.

So if you are a fresher who’s just out of college or a career changer, continuing cosmetology education must be your mantra. Remember that analysts have projected a growth of about 30 percent in this industry which is enough for hair professionals to become millionaires.

Hairstylists who injure their clien...

Posted at 6:15 AM • No Comments

Can a hairstylist ever injure his clients? The answer may be affirmative if we believe a recent news report from the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL). The report states that many hairdressers have a “careless attitude” towards safety of their clients, which I believe is due to lack of proper cosmetology education.

APIL has expressed concern that too many hairdressers are going into business without appropriate preparation as a result of lax regulation. The negligence of safety norms and non-compliance of standards laid down by the Hairdressing Council is causing many customers to be exposed to the risk of suffering a life-changing personal injury.

A spokeswoman from the body said: “Anyone can pick up a pair of scissors and call themselves a hairdresser, with or without training and qualifications.”

Every salon must guarantee safety for their clients by adopting safety measures and following standard practices. Sometimes, it becomes difficult to handle unstable employees but I feel this is where the need of proper cosmetology education is required.

Cosmetology education is very important for stylists as it prepares them to become better cosmetologists than merely becoming a barber or a colorist. These programs ensure overall development of an individual and make them competent in the hair industry. If a stylist finds it boring to attend personal lectures, he can opt for online cosmetology education programs. All you need is an internet connection and you can take courses any time you choose.

ScissorBoy’s Cutting Edge Hair Show is a popular online cosmetology education program. It not only provides training in hair-cutting and coloring, but also trains in salon management, sales techniques, communication skills, product and service marketing, etc. One of their episodes highlights the issue of salon safety for customers. Check it out below:

APIL have termed the current state of affairs as “absolutely shocking”, stressing on the fact that allergic reactions to dyes and other compounds can lead to “severe pain, scarring, depression and anxiety. However, after going through the above video, you must have realized the dos and the don’ts while dealing with the safety of your clients.

If you are a stylist or a cosmetology student, you should definitely subscribe to ScissorBoy’s FREE online cosmetology education program. By regularly watching the online episodes, you will learn more in 10 minutes than you can learn in 10 days by reading books!
