Fact: A cosmetology career provides attractive wage and employment opportunities
Cosmetology is the study and application of a variety of beauty treatments to become a hairstylist, esthetician, and manicurists, nail technician or makeup artist to name a few disciplines. These specialties almost all require training and licensing to be able to legally practice in the United States.
Cosmetology provides opportunities for a flexible career that draws on creativity and an interest in beauty with good wage with employment potential. According to the National Accrediting Commission of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences and the United States Department of Labor, experienced salon professionals can average up to $50,000 annually, including tips.
The cost for cosmetology schools can range but there is a secret ingredient to help you attain certification. Schoolsoup.com has identified hundreds of cosmetology scholarships, some that include paying your full tuition at an accredited school.
Take the time to complete your Schoolsoup.com profile completely, identifying any special qualities, such as being a single or teen parent, women or minority or any other affiliations that might increase your chances for scholarship success.
