Is Cosmetology School Right for You?

If you are considering going to cosmetology school, congratulations! It could be an excellent way for you to get on the path to doing something that you love. But how do you know for sure if pursuing a career in cosmetology is right for you? To find out, see if you meet the following criteria.

You love being creative.

People in the beauty industry are typically creative and artistic. They can look at a client and instantly know what haircut, color or style would best complement their face, or understand which makeup products and techniques will let someone’s beauty shine through. If you enjoy being creative and playing with textures, colors, and experimenting with new trends, a future in cosmetology might be an ideal way for you to express yourself.

You have a passion for beauty.

Do you binge on beauty blogs and how-to videos? Do you have drawers full of hair care, makeup and skincare products? Do you dream of doing makeovers on people you meet? If so, you just might be a little beauty obsessed. Cosmetology school could be the next step for you. There, you’ll learn all about the things you love like haircutting, styling, coloring, skincare, manicuring, make-up and much more.

You enjoy being around people.

The best hair stylists are known for being extroverted, fun and friendly. If you enjoy talking to people all day and, even more important, being a good listener, cosmetology could be a great career path for you. Use your outstanding people skills to attract and keep clients, confidently make product recommendations and sales, and get tons of rave reviews.

You want options and flexibility.

Some of the nice things about pursuing a career in cosmetology is that your skills will always be in demand, there are a number of paths you can take, and you may have the freedom to choose your own schedule. Whether you want to be a hair stylist, barber, skincare specialist, makeup artist, nail technician, or even own your own salon, enrolling in cosmetology school is the first step in achieving your career goals on your own terms.

You’re looking for an alternative to college.

Finally, if you’re excited about starting a hands-on, creative career, and don’t like the idea of sitting behind a desk for four years, cosmetology school is a great alternative to going to college. You’ll learn all the tricks of the trade and gain real-world experience in school, and then be on the fast-track to the career of your dreams.

Latest Beauty Trends for Fall

Who’s excited for fall? It’s time for pumpkin spice lattes, sweater weather, and a fresh new look. It’s time to go back to school or the office and make a fabulous impression. It’s time to get out your makeup, check out the latest beauty trends for fall, and put your best face forward. Here are some of the hottest new looks for fall; find your favorite!

Kitten Liner

Everyone is familiar with the “cat eye” technique that has dominated for the last few years, but it’s a bold look that requires a steady hand. Today’s kitten liner is more subtle and forgiving. This cleaner, daintier version of the classic cat eye is easy to achieve. Start your line at the center of the eye instead of the inner corner, and then use short, thin strokes along the lash line. Finish with a little flick at the end to create a tiny, subtle wing.

Lush Lips

Our mouths have been hidden under masks for a while, so when it is safe to show off your smile, be sure to play up those lips. Lipstick is back and better than ever! Consider a bold, classic red or a deep berry hue, perfect for fall. And while matte color is here to stay, super glossy looks are also making a shiny comeback.

Soap Brows

Natural, full, fluffy brows are in. Over-tweezed, barely-there brows are out. To make the most of your natural brows, try the Instagram favorite “soap brow” technique. Basically, brows are back-combed, fluffed, and styled with a damp spoolie brush, and then a touch of glycerin-based soap is applied to keep the style in place instead of eyebrow gel. A number of makeup artists prefer soap to gel because of its strong hold, simplicity, and affordability.

No-Makeup Makeup

Finally, the no-makeup makeup look continues to be on-trend. Show up to your next meeting or social gathering looking radiant and natural, and leave them wondering. Use a moisture balm to create a subtle glow, a touch of neutral eyeshadow, a hint of cream blush, and brush those brows.
