Throughout history, people have practiced various forms of body care, grooming and enhancement for personal, social, cultural and religious reasons.
Some practitioners have applied their abilities in the workplace by providing professional cosmetology services to clients. The personal and professional care, grooming and enhancement of the human body is supported by an array of industries including those that manufacture cosmetics and related equipment, tools and supplies for personal and/or professional use, and those that provide professional cosmetology services.
Cosmetology Studies, a strand in Career and Technology Studies, focuses on personal and professional grooming, body care and enhancement practices, and provides students with opportunities to explore and prepare for cosmetology-related career options. Cosmetology Studies encourages the student centered process approach, which combines the development of thinking processes and practiced skills in concrete, realistic learning situations. Throughout Cosmetology Studies, students are encouraged to solve problems, make decisions and develop the abilities and flexibility needed to adapt quickly to new situations, including changes in career paths.
Cosmetology is working with skin, hair and nails. Which includes things like hair styling, cutting, coloring, shampooing, manicures, waxing, facials, etc. More than a half a million people work as cosmetologists. It is a great profession for people who would like to have a career in the beauty industry. It's a great career for a mother in a two income family or if you're just living on your own. This career is not only for woman, it is also great for men.
The pay is not that bad, but usually wouldn't workout for a single mother with more than one kid, unless she owned her own business. A beginner will make between $12,000 and $13,000 a year. After you are more experienced you could make between $18,000 to $24,000 a year.......
