Why Hair Care and Beauty Services?

Estheticians help treat skin-related issues such as acne, hyperpigmentation and signs of aging, but are also trained to perform technical procedures such as cosmetic electrotherapy, low-level ultrasound treatments, and microcurrents.
A significant number of beauticians are self-employed, while some are setting up their own salons. Talented beauty and hair professionals can find jobs as makeup artists, although there is a lot of competition for jobs sought. They may also work as a make-up artist or hairdresser in a major movie or TV production.
Hair Care and Beauty Services is a growing industry with many long-term career options. Since 2016, more than 800,000 cosmetology graduates have embarked on a new career in beauty and the number will continue to grow. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects job growth in the beauty industry from 2021-2026, significantly higher than the average of 13%.
So if you're interested in helping people look and feel their best, here's what you need to know about Hair Care & Beauty Services:
How to become a Hair Care and Beauty Services specialist?
Education and training requirements vary depending on the profession you choose or where you study or work. You can train as a beautician in a beauty course, a vocational school or a university. Alternatively, many employers offer work-based apprenticeship programs that combine on-the-job training with academic study. But whichever option you choose, a certificate or diploma takes around 12-18 months to complete, while associate degrees usually require two years of study.
An associate's degree is not required to become a beautician. However, if you are planning to set up your own salon, a longer training is the best option. In associate degree programs, besides learning all the basics of beauty care, courses such as business management and marketing are learned. Associate degrees are also a stepping stone for those wishing to pursue a bachelor's degree in spa management or advanced training in areas such as advanced skin care and dermatology.
