FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE COSMETOLOGY PROGRAM

What is cosmetology?

Cosmetology is the study of beautification—the practice of providing makeup, skin, nail, and hair services. Cosmetologists study the most recent advances in hair care, skin care, and makeup techniques. They help clients achieve their beauty and styling goals and can assist in maintaining the general health of the skin and hair. Services can include hair cutting, styling, cosmetic applications, and basic skincare treatments.

WHAT DOES A COSMETOLOGIST DO?

Licensed cosmetologists are able to offer services across the beauty industry, including hairstyling, skincare treatments, and makeup. Some schools
have more specialized licensure requirements for estheticians or skin care specialists.
Cosmetologists may perform several different services throughout their day, depending on their role. If your focus is hairstyling and cutting, you may still work with clients that require the latest coloring, cuts and styles, as well as curling, weaves, extensions, or other hair services.
Also, some licensed professionals choose to pursue careers in the beauty industry as beauty magazine editors or consultants, while others become sales or marketing specialists in the cosmetics industry. Still others go on to teach beauty school and pass on their knowledge and skills to the next generation. The choices really are endless and new opportunities for professional cosmetologists in many different career sectors… read more
