Transfer Opportunities and Continuing Education for Cosmetologists
For many cosmetologists, formal training and a license are only the first steps in a career that requires years of continuing education. Because hairstyles change, new products are developed, and services expand to meet clients' needs, personal appearance workers must keep abreast of the latest fashions and beauty techniques. They attend training at salons, cosmetology schools, or product shows. Through workshops and demonstrations of the latest techniques, industry representatives introduce cosmetologists to a wide range of products and services. As retail sales become an increasingly important part of salons' revenue, the ability to be an effective salesperson becomes vital for salon workers.
Cosmetology is not typically offered as a major or degree program at four-year colleges and universities. Some cosmetologists seek career advancement by pursuing advanced degrees in related fields such as business, health, management, and teaching.
