Re: Beautician Education

Here is 5 Steps of How to Become a Beautician

Step 1: Research Beautician Career Duties and Education

Beauticians provide a choice of personal care treatments such as hair styling, makeup, waxing, massages, skin care, eyelash and eyebrow treatments and nail care. They may also provide advanced treatments such as electrolysis, laser therapy and permanent makeup. Beauticians sometimes offer advice related to skin care, hair care, makeup and possibly even fitness and health.
While the majority is trained in several areas, most focal point on one specialty such as hair or nails. Beautician training occurs at a vocational or beauty school.

Step 2: Enroll in a Beauty School

Training to become a beauty professional is not classically offered as a major at 4-year colleges and universities. Rather, aspiring beauty professionals can find relevant programs at independent vocational cosmetology schools, technical schools and community colleges. These programs can be focused on one area of beauty, such as hairdressing, or they can be all-encompassing cosmetology programs, which can include nail care, hair cutting and dressing and skin care. Full-time students can generally complete programs in nine months.

Step 3: Complete an Apprenticeship

Apprenticeships allow beauticians to receive additional hands-on training in various beauty specialties. An apprenticeship can last from 1 to 3 years. Even after completing an apprenticeship, beauticians must stay up-to-date on the latest techniques, trends and products. Many attend seminars, beauty shows and training programs.

Step 4: Take a Business Management Course

A majority of beauticians are self-employed, so a business management or accounting course may be advantageous for future entrepreneurial efforts. Courses can be found at community and technical colleges, and you can even find business courses designed specifically for cosmetologists.

Step 5: Become Licensed

All beauticians must be licensed by the state in which they plan to work. Licensing involves passing a practical and written exam. Licenses naturally need to be renewed every few years.
