What it takes to become a cosmetolo...

Posted at 2:49 AM • No Comments

Cosmetology education is becoming one of the most preferred courses for students today. The hair industry promises tremendous growth in 2010 meaning that the industry will require large number of qualified cosmetologists. National Accrediting Commission of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences predict that employment opportunities will increase by 30 percent in 2010.

So who is called a cosmetologist and where can one gain cosmetology education?

In simple terms, a cosmetologist is an individual who performs hair-cutting, coloring, styling, manicures, pedicures, makeup, etc. either in a professional salon or as an independent consultant. One has to earn a cosmetology license to practice as a cosmetologist for which training in cosmetology is essential.

Cosmetology education is primarily essential because it lays the foundation for a strong career. There are various roles that one can adopt after undergoing cosmetology education, such as Hairstylist, Manicurist, Shampooer, etc. However, it is essential to undergo primary training before deciding to specialize in a particular field.

Licensing and training requirements are different for each of the roles mentioned above. You can check the Licensing requirements for your state by visiting the website of Beauty Schools.

As far as the educational requirements are concerned, one must have graduated from a state-licensed cosmetology school to become a licensed cosmetologist. The rules vary for different states and cosmetology courses to be studied in private beauty schools, community colleges, high schools, technical and vocational schools.

The best way to undergo training in cosmetology is by following online cosmetology education programs like the Cutting Edge Hair Show. This online TV and video education series from ScissorBoy is designed for professional hairstylists, salon owners and cosmetology students.

The primary goal of this online cosmetology education program is to provide ten minutes of high quality, step by step education and video instructions to stylists. Students also get to learn the best and latest techniques from top stylists who are regularly featured on this show.

ScissorBoy.com – your favorite website for online cosmetology education was recently featured in an online magazine – Beauty Link. The magazine provided a review of the site done by the Cosmetology Educators of America (CEA) Committee Members.

Click here to read the review

The American Association of Cosmetology Schools (AACS) and the Cosmetology Educators of America (CEA) are dedicated to developing cosmetology, beauty and wellness as a career of choice through the professional education of beauty students, beauty educators and beauty school owners/administrators throughout the world.

The cosmetology industry is an interesting industry to work in. To produce better professionals and provide quality online cosmetology education, ScissorBoy had partnered with The American Association of Cosmetology Schools (AACS) a few months ago.

ScissorBoy’s online cosmetology program releases a new episode every Monday, featuring top stylists in salons all over the world showcasing their best and latest techniques. Each episode is available for viewing directly from AACS/CEA website – www.beautyschools.org

Here is what CEA committee members had to say about the site:

Kim McIntosh, Xenon International Academy
One strength I noticed is that students would be able to print out the transcript from the video. A transcript that students can refer back to is a valuable tool for them

Debra LeGrand, LeGrand Institute of Cosmetology
I am a practiciing hairdresser as well as school owner. I tuned in to ScissorBoy and there were three videos, so I watched two, and I really liked them. One was Paulo Candido and the other was ‘Healthy Posture for Stylists’ given by Aaron Parnell. He gave exercise techniques for tired and hurting hands, arms, backs and necks. I tried them as I watched and was amazed at how my neck felt.

Kim Schottler, Great Clips
Some individuals in my office watched the Halo section video. They think it’s a very cool website to get some quick information for an experienced stylist.
