Becoming A Cosmetologist
Becoming a Cosmetologist, it would take up to 2-4 years of college, depending on what diploma you would like. I would be going, hair, makeup, skin, and nail care. Hair stylist, make up, skin, and nail specialist. I think I would really fit in with that kind of work atmosphere. After high school, I would like to attend school, to become a hair stylist. So I can expand my knowledge, and begin my career. I think I would fit right in, in the workplace considering I’m constantly changing my hair color. To get the skills I will need, I’ll need to become a hair stylist. I would need to attend a program, that will allow me to gain the cutting, design, and coloring strategies I will need. I already know the basis of coloring but with just one solid color. Eventually in my years of attending school, I’ll learn more techniques with multiple colors at one time. …show more content…
The BLS (Basic life support) reports the median hourly wage for hairdressers in 2013 was $11.12, which translates to $23,140 a year. The best-paid earned approximately $44,220, while the worst-paid made about $17,010. If you ask me that is some pretty good money. While attending school, to become a hair stylist I would like to further my education in cosmetology and include make up. With including make up in my career it would bring me more customers, with prom, weddings, and professional pictures. I’m sure I’ll be able to accomplish these things with my steady work

    One of the most important decisions of my life was choosing to go back to school. I was 30 years old, raising two kids at the time, and the last thing in the world I wanted to do was go back to school. I had previously attended cosmetology school and received a degree in its study. I had been working as a stylist for 5 years but it just was not enough. I needed to support my family and live comfortably and working under someone else’s authority could not fulfill my goals and dreams. One dream of mine is to one day own my own salon and become a successful business owner. I knew that a cosmetology degree could not teach me the skills needed to run a business and be successful. This is when I began thinking that I should go back to school for a business management degree. There was only one thing on my mind at this time, my age, I wondered if I could handle college at this point in my life.…
