What benefits a cosmetologist might expect to obtain?

Answer 1

Reason #1: Freedom Of An EntrepreneurAs a licensed stylist, you'll have the freedom to work when you want and as much as you want. If you prefer to work Mondays through Fridays, you can choose to do so. If you'd only like to work weekends, the choice is up to you. As a stylist, you're an entrepreneur. Most people who graduate from Cosmetology school work in salons. They build their own businesses and experience the freedom that entrepreneurs enjoy. Reason #2: You Can Make Your Own ScheduleSome stylists prefer to begin working in the afternoon to catch clients during their lunch break. Others like booking appointments with their clients after normal business hours, so they can enjoy the day, doing whatever they please while helping their clients in the evening. When you work in a salon, you can set the schedule that is best-suited for your needs. Do you have a young child that requires you to be home during the day? You have the freedom to do so as a licensed stylist. Reason #3: Your Income Reflects Your WorkHave you ever heard your friends complaining about their jobs not paying them what they're truly worth? When you're working as a stylist, the amount and type of work you do in the salon has a direct, often immediate, affect on your income. The more clients you help, the more money you can make. According to a 2003 study by the NACCAS (National Accrediting Commission of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences), the average income for a stylist in a salon reaches $50,000 a year. Some make much more. If the thought of controlling your income is appealing to you, being a licensed stylist may be the profession for you. Reason #4: You Enjoy Working With Hair And MakeupWorking with your clients' hair and makeup can be exciting. First, you're helping them to look their best. Second, you can let your creative spark show as you try new and provocative styles. Your clients give you a lot of control over how they're perceived by the people who see them. This is one of the reasons why being a stylist is so rewarding. Reason #5: You Can Work With CelebritiesMany aspiring stylists attending cosmetology school want to eventually work in the world of entertainment and fashion. If you develop your creativity and skills, you could very well be asked to style the hair and makeup of models and celebrities. Many stylists work in salons at first to learn the latest cutting-edge techniques and then move on to working with music personalities, actors, politicians and other people in the public eye. Reason #6: Opportunity For Earning CommissionsNot only do you control your income by the amount and type of work you do for your clients; you can increase your earnings by getting paid commissions for hair care and beauty products that you encourage your clients to purchase. Your clients need these products anyway. Why not buy them while they're at the salon? If a new product comes out that would be perfect for one of your customers, simply suggest it to them and you'll make a commission for the sale. Everybody wins. Reason #7: You Want To Avoid Working In An OfficeYou probably have friends who have told you about the horrors of working in an office. The stories usually focus on utter boredom, lack of training, managerial incompetence, gripes against fellow employees and other problems that can make Corporate America seem like the last place you'd want to work. When you become a stylist, you effectively avoid the office setting. You work in a salon with other motivated stylists on a schedule that suits your personality. Reason #8: You Enjoy Talking With PeopleAs a licensed stylist, you'll have the opportunity to talk to friends, your co-workers and your clients throughout the entire day. If you enjoy speaking with interesting people (don't we all?), you'll definitely enjoy your career as a cosmetologist. Every day is different. Each client will have new stories whenever they visit. You'll find yourself becoming friends with many of your clients. In fact, talking with people is a major part of your job!
