Why is cosmetology career for you?

Have you ever had people ask you what you would like to be when you grow up? Well, I think we all have been asked that question but not a lot of us actually ended up what we told them back then. It happens for a lot of reasons including (but not limited to) things like disapproval of our parents, change of hearts, unavailable to finish training due to constraints (such as course is not offered locally or financial problems) and more reasons. For a lot of us that do not become what we wanted when we were younger, the passion and love for our hopes and dreams is still there. 

A lot of people in their younger years would play and act and would want to be professional hairdressers/stylist or cosmetologists – they’d dream of making it big by being known using clippers, hair blower, curlers, scissors (and other hair dresser tools) and of course their creativity. To those who still have the passion for creativity in the field of beauty and fashion, you still have your chance and we are here to help you realize and reach that dream.  Keep in mind of the following things about this industry: 

It’s never too late – this industry doesn’t really have an age bracket. People wouldn’t train or hire you just because you are younger; they do it because of your passion and your creativity. 

Learning is accessible – compared to before where they maybe only a few cosmetology schools and they are in specific location, there are now hundreds of training centers and courses for this industry are even available online. Learning can also be easy as most of the courses (especially those online) are flexible and self paced. Meaning you can still go to work and only study on your free time. 

Following your dreams can bring you happiness – there maybe days that you get bored or unhappy working in your office but when you start training for a cosmetology career that you have long dreamt of, you will find yourself in a much more fun and happier environment. Being in a place wherein you are able to let your creativity flow can help you be the person you always wanted to be – and if you are successful in getting your cosmetology license, you can get paid to be that person. 

This is a strong industry – it’s one of the industries that has remained strong and continues to grow and improve (read more about the industry here). There are endless opportunities in this field and once you have acquired your license as a cosmetologist, you can take your career wherever you want – you can quit your job (if currently employed) and start out your own salon or business. You can choose to work in a salon as a employee but once you have established yourself, you have the chance to work with professionals (such as celebrities). 

Remember that the biggest blocker you will ever have in trying to reach your goals and dreams is only yourself – the rest will be just excuses you make because if you really want something, you know you’ll work hard to get it. You don’t have to worry or be scared to be in this industry for as long as you work hard and persevere, you will definitely be able to find success.
