Deciding what you want to do with your future career is so important! Whether you’re fresh out of high school or are new to the industry and want to try something new, you’re never too old for beauty school! But, are you prepared? Take our quiz to see if you are ready and prepared to do something new! Plus, get a little insight on what type of beauty career might be right for you.

How To Get Ready To Pursue Your New Career

It’s never too late to get started on your journey into the beauty industry, and it’s a big commitment, so doing your research beforehand can make a big difference. Before you do anything, from choosing to cut back hours at your current job or talking to your support network about what changes you want to make, you have to do your research:

Are you passionate about the beauty industry?
What do you want out of your career?
What type of education do you need to fulfill your dream career?
What’s stopping you from doing what you love?

One of the biggest concerns that we see is people who aren’t confident they can find a career after they finish their education in beauty school, but that’s simply not true! Everyone loves a good hairstylist, and the industry is expected to continue to expand.

As an added bonus, careers for skincare professionals like estheticians is expected to grow by 17% according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

But, if that’s not enough to help make that push, here are a few other things you can think about.

What Are You Looking for in a Career?

Do You Want To Study Hair or Skincare?

Deciding what you want to study can drastically change what you look into, as some schools offer cosmetology and esthetics programs, while others might only offer hairstyling programs.

If you want to pursue a career sooner, look into shorter programs like esthetics or hairstyling.
If you want to become a more well-rounded licensed professional, choose cosmetology.
If your passion is only in skincare, choose an esthetics program.
If you prefer to learn only about hairstyling, choose a hairstyling program.

Choose the type of program you want to study before looking for the right cosmetology school.

Do You Want To Be Your Own Boss or Work for Someone Else?

As a cosmetologist or esthetician, you have the freedom to choose whether you’d like to open your own business or work for someone else. No matter what you choose, an education at The Studio Academy of Beauty is designed to help prepare you for the business side of beauty, including lessons in:

How to advertise yourself on social media like Instagram
How to manage a salon and follow required rules and regulations
How to nail your interview and other resume preparation skills
And much more!

While we can’t guarantee employment, we strive to do everything we can to help you do what you love, no matter if you choose to be your own boss or find a stable career somewhere else.

Do You Want a Flexible Schedule?

There are many opportunities for licensed beauty professionals! Especially if you rent your own chair or booth in a salon, you choose how many clients you want to take and when, as it’s up to you to build your own client book.

Some beauty professionals choose to practice beauty as a side hustle or make that their primary career. When it comes to beauty, the sky is the limit and what you do is up to you! It’s possible to balance your career and life to achieve the right work/life balance for you.

Do You Want To Work in a Team Environment?

If you choose to work in a salon or spa or even in an environment like a fashion show or movie industry, chances are, you’ll be working with a team of dedicated professionals who are as passionate about the industry as you are.

While this may not necessarily be the case if you open your own salon, there are plenty of opportunities for you to continue your education with other stylists and licensed professionals.

Plus, your time at The Studio Academy of Beauty is the perfect place to start growing your network as you work with other like-minded individuals who are learning the same things as you.
