Cosmetology

The career i want to pursue my life with is cosmetology. Being a cosmetologist is a unique job, depending on what your working with. Its different then alot of jobs, because you do different things with every customer. I think it would be alot of fun to be able to dye hair, cut hair, and style hair. I like to talk alot, and speaking to people is easy for me, and in cosmerology you have to talk to your customers or clients.

Becoming a cosmetologist does not take very much schooling. Usually people go from 6-12 month course( Sassoon np). Unlike doctors hair schooling is quick, usually not over a year and a half. Doctors do years and years. Students who want to become a hair dresser or cosmetologist need to attend

a professsionaal school to learn. They should do some practice rounds on people before doing it on a regular basis( Sassoon np).
Supposedly from 2012 to 2022 the job outlook will go up 13% or more(Barbers, np).

Hair dressers do not always make low income. Some make more than alot of people. If you own a business, and depending how many clients and prices, you culd make alot of money. Tips also come with this job. Cosmetologty is needed everywhere. So the job will never be scarce. Stamina is good to have due to standing on your feet alot(Barbers, np).

Personal skills for this job are leadership and management(Cosmetologists, np). In high school everyone who wants to be a cosmetologists should take accounting classes. Practicing cutting, coloring, and others things is very important to becoming a cosmetlogist. Cosmetologists also do nail work, waxing, and makeup. I will have to be able to do a variety of different hairstyles on different types of hair.

After doing the research on cosmetology still sounds like a fun job. Im a person who gets really bored doing the same thing everyday. I work better with hands on things also. Being a hair dresser would let me do different styles on people, and color their hair different everyday. At the same time its a job though. I ould make decent money if I had alot of clients, or if I started my own business. Maybe, since I talk alot, my people would come back. Cosmetology sounds like a job I would really

enjoy!
