What does being a Cosmetologist entail? “Cosmetology is defined as the art and science of beautifying and improving application.”( Milady Standard cosmetology publish 2016 edition, Ted Gibson) Cosmetologist provide therapeutic services to their clients. Cosmetologist are not just hairstylist, they are therapist, lifetime friends, and possibly someone's personal fashion artist--regarding their hair and the newest trends. Cosmetologist consist of different jobs. Depending on how high their are in the industry affects their salary. How far does this industry expand? The industry of cosmetology evolved and unfurl throughout time.

The earliest usage of cosmetics can date back to some of the oldest civilizations on

Earth. Evergreen Beauty College says “Some of the very first evidence of makeup in Mesopotamian civilization came from portraits and carvings of kings and priests.” Cosmetics were not just used to beautify people. Makeup could be used to identify lower classes (poor) from higher classes (rich) in different civilization. In African societies, “Many tribes colored the hair with red earth, and wore elaborate hairstyles and head dressing as a symbol of stature.” (Milady Standard cosmetology published 2016, Ted Gibson). How does that play a role in how cosmetics are used in modern day? But, that is not the only way cosmetics were used in earlier ages. The Egyptians cultivated the Kohl make up. The Ancient Egyptians produced and used Kohl makeup (Kohl makeup was made from a mixture of ground galena). Kohl makeup produced a cure to alleviate eye inflammation and protect their eyes from glare of the sun. (Milady Standard cosmetology published 2016, Ted Gibson). As Americans shifted their thought of “beauty” the changing of cosmetics evolutioned. Everyone wanted to be “flawless”, and that is steps closer to era “The Twentieth Century”.
In the early twentieth century, the invention of motion pictures coincided with an abrupt shift in American attitudes. As viewers saw pictures of celebrities with flawless complexions, beautiful hairstyles, and manicured nails, standards of feminine beauty began to change. This era also singled the spread of industrialization, which brought a new prosperity to the united states. Beauty application began to follow the trends set by celebrities and society figures.

Now, in the Twenty-first century Cosmetic services are used in a variety of ways. It has always been dissimilar branches in cosmetics but in this era cosmetologists can specialize in what they desire -- hair color, skincare, or nail services. When cosmetics is thought of today, day spa, nail salons, and hair shows are all something that comes to mind. These different cosmetic service businesses developed from cosmetologists discovered what they adored doing and then they specialized in that service. Let us take Noel DeCaprio for an example. Noel DeCaprio played a key role in the evolving of cosmetic industry of the twenty-first Century. She was her own business owner in the cosmetics industry (Noelle Spa for Beauty and Wellness). Noel DeCaprio also coined the words Day Spa. “Since the late 1980s, the salon industry has evolved to include day spas, a name that was first coined by beauty legend Noel DeCaprio. Day spas new represent an excellent employment opportunity for beauty practitioners.” (Milady Standard cosmetology published 2016, Ted Gibson), Americans Making history! As Cosmetology continued to evolve numerous industries and opportunities were created. With these numerous industries being created schools made opportunities to specialize in this industries. Hair Color specialist, texture specialist, and hair cutting specialist, all these developed from individuals that found what they enjoyed in cosmetics. “The possibilities can endless for a hard-working professional. Cosmetologist who continues their education and approaches her or his career with a strong sense of personal integrity.” (Milady Standard cosmetology published 2016, Ted Gibson)

It provides a sense of direction by defining guiding principles and clarying goal, as well as how an organization operates.” (Milady Standard cosmetology published 2016, Ted Gibson) Mission statement are typically created off of journeys and interest. Set goals based off that mission statement. Finally, the real purpose will come about. Eventually the focus for the business will come clear and the work ethic on that interest will grow.

Most cosmetology schools base their curricula on state licensing requirements, but every state has different requirements. Nevertheless, common cosmetology coursework includes hair cutting and styling, safety procedures and business management. Most cosmetology programs also provide basic training in makeup application, manicures, massage therapy and skincare treatments. Cosmetology programs range from 1,000-1,500 hours. Students can choose to specialize in individual cosmetology fields. Estheticians, also known as skincare professionals, take courses that cover facial treatments, body wraps, skincare chemicals and body hair removal techniques. Nail technicians, also called manicurists, participate in coursework that covers manicures, pedicures, artificial nails, nail color treatments and nail diseases. Specialist programs typically require around 600 hours of coursework. Licensing exams can include written or practical tests, and sometimes both. Written exams cover questions about sanitation rules, chemical usage, hair styling techniques and state laws. Practical tests involve applicants following directions to style a mannequin or model. Some states also administer an oral examination in which applicants must provide verbal answers to cosmetology-related questions. Many states have licenses for each cosmetology specialty. Some states combine specialties under one unified license. After cosmetologists obtain their license, they might have to renew it by periodically paying a fee and filling out appropriate paperwork. Cosmetologists who hold a license in one state might have to get additional licenses to work in other states. ( copyright 2003-2018 Study.com.

The cosmetic industry has varies outlooks but it depends on the specialties that individuals want to pursue on what outlooks they are going to have. Cosmetology is a very broad industry that really has no limits. What individuals prefer and they can achieve it really determines whether the business will succeed or not.
The ability to understand people is the key to operating in many industries. It is especially important in cosmetology, where customer service is the cornerstone of success. Most of a stylist’s achievements will depend on his or her ability to communicate successfully with a wide range of people: supervisors, coworkers, clients, and various vendors who come into the salon. (Milady Standard cosmetology published 2016, Ted Gibson)
Being able to communicate efficiently is a key point in any industry. But being in the cosmetology industry where the business revolves around customer service primarily makes communication even more important. When working in business that involves customer service they usually have dos and don'ts to help you communicate with the customer positively. “Here are practical steps for effectively communicating in the workplace: Respond instead of reacting, Believe in yourself, Talk less, listen more, and Be attentive.” (Milady Standard cosmetology published 2016, Ted Gibson)
