As
you begin your journey, it is so important to fully grasp the endless
possibilities you have in this career. Many students go on to be fabulous hair
stylists, make up artists, colorists, managers, owners, and so much more.
I
would like to touch on a few things that I have had the pleasure of doing and
the amazing experience and knowledge you gain from each of them.
Being a
colorist and working for a color company is quite possibly the most rewarding
experience in the world of Cosmetology. Making a client feel good about themselves is such a great feeling. As well as being able to look at a client as a blank
canvas and having endless possibilities allows your creativity run wild!
Other
then being able to make people feel amazing, which is the best thing you can
ever do, you can also make a great living.
Some cosmetologists consider becoming a color educator, which allows you to
travel and explore even more possibilities. I thrive to educate my students as
much as I possibly can on everything there is to know, but I am very open for my students to become a colorist. I know first hand how incredible it really is!
Salon
managers are another facet of the industry and I believe the heart and soul of any salon out there. Being a salon manager is
a lot of work but at the end of the day, seeing numerous clients walking out with
a smile on their face makes it all worth it!
A salon manager basically oversees
everything in the salon. They are usually responsible for everything from payroll
to handling clients. Being a manager means you have to be a team player and lead
by example. It is vital that you have exemplary communication skills and the
ability to command your audience. Again, salon manager is often a way to make an excellent salary,
which is always a plus.
As you
can see I have only touched on 2 out of the never-ending possibilities as a
Cosmologist. I hope this allows you to see that nothing is ever impossible and
you have so many options once you obtain your license.
What is your career path?
What are your goals and dreams? I hope to one day see all of you being the BEST
that you can be!
