Reseña del libro "Careers in Cosmetology (en Inglés)"
COSMETOLOGISTS ARE TRAINED TO MAINTAIN and care for hair, skin, and nails. Most are hair stylists, estheticians, nail technicians, or makeup artists. This is a very broad industry that offers numerous opportunities to specialize in very specific kinds of work. For example, a trained hair stylist might work only with wigs and hairpieces, or a makeup artist might work in live theater or for a local TV station. Most specializations are based on personal preference and experience, but some such as microderm abrasion or master coloring, require advanced training. There are more than 600,000 of these professionals working in the US. That number is expected to rise faster than the average for the foreseeable future. The demand for licensed cosmetologists is greatest in hair salons and barber shops, nail salons, and day spas. There are also many jobs being created in resort hotels and department stores, on cruise ships and film and television sets, and backstage at fashion shows and magazine photo shoots. There are even traveling cosmetologists who bring their services to people in their own homes, assisted living facilities, hospitals, or small towns that do not have a salon. If you are creative, good with people, and willing to keep learning more about your craft, this could be the right career choice for you. Cosmetology is a rock-solid profession that thrives even through economic downturns. Women and men always want to feel good about the way they look - almost more than anything else.
