Introduction Why enter the Cosmetology Field?
Yes, cosmetology is about hairdressingbut it's also about much more than that. Yes, it's about being in a service industrybut it's also about getting a chance to show your creative side. Cosmetologists can be hairdressers, skincare specialists, nail technicians, massage therapists, or makeup artists (or all of the above). The possibilities in the beauty field are as many and varied as the individuals in the field. It's truly an occupation in which you can create your own path. Few fields offer the flexibilityand potential rewardsof cosmetology.
In this book you'll learn more details about the field and the possible paths you can take. You'll learn about training programs on the high school/vocational school and postsecondary levels. You'll learn what's required to get your license, and you'll learn why getting your license is only the beginning of your career.
