What Can You Do as a Cosmetologist?

What Can You Do as a Cosmetologist

If you’re considering enrolling in a cosmetology program, you may wonder what you can do after you complete your training and earn your cosmetology license. You’ll discover many cosmetology opportunities when you enroll at Brillare. However, if you’re not sure what you’d like to do after you attend beauty school, here are several different things to consider as you choose your career path.

You Have Many Cosmetology Career Options

When you earn your cosmetology license, you can try your hand at any number of jobs in the beauty industry. For example, you could work as a hairstylist in your local salon, but you could do so much more than that. You could work your way up and become a hairstylist or a makeup artist for celebrities. Or you could become a fashion show stylist. Additionally, you could become a featured stylist at hair shows, showing off your hair cutting and styling skills on stage for all your colleagues to see. Alternatively, if you aren’t interested in hair and makeup, you could become a nail technician. You could give manicures and pedicures at a nail salon in your neighborhood, or you could work at an upscale spa. Of course, you could also work on the corporate side of the beauty industry, helping sell and even develop products for all kinds of beauty brands. Once you complete cosmetology school, you can find beauty-related job opportunities everywhere, and you can choose the ones that best fit your interests and career goals.

Understanding Cosmetologists’ Salaries

As of May 2020, cosmetologists make a national average salary of $39,243. The top 10% of cosmetologists make around $67,000, while the bottom 10% make around $22,000. If you’re worried about working in the bottom 10%, remember that cosmetology demands are high in the job market. Also keep in mind that hair stylist career advancement opportunities are everywhere. Once you know what the average cosmetologist’s salary range is, you can adjust your career goals accordingly.

How to Gain Job Growth in the Beauty Industry

After you become a licensed cosmetologist, you’ll most likely want to move forward in your career. But how can you do that? You can always look for continuing education training programs that teach you new skills to level up your styling game and open up new career advancement opportunities. Brillare offers continuing education courses for stylists who want to learn new skills, and if you want to learn about something we don’t teach, we can put you in touch with people who do. We have the partnerships and connections to help you grow throughout your cosmetology career.
