Beauty Studies - Beauty School Programs

by Robyn Tellefsen

The majority of

beauty programs

offer instruction in multiple modalities - Barbering, esthetics, hair design, makeup, nails, wardrobe styling, etc. -- all with the goal of enhancing natural beauty. At beauty school, students have 24/7 access to the resources necessary to formulate a personal philosophy of beauty, as well as the tools needed to turn that philosophy into practice.

What You'll Learn
In beauty school, you'll take courses that directly relate to your specialty, such as hair styling, hair coloring, makeup application, facials, hair removal, manicuring, or pedicuring. Beauty programs also consist of coursework in anatomy and physiology, chemistry, health and safety, and the business and ethics of beauty.

Degree Types
Beauty programs typically lead to a diploma, certificate, or even an associate degree, all of which prepare beauticians to sit for state licensing exams.

Career Paths
With a degree in beauty, you may become an Esthetician, hair stylist, nail technician, makeup artist, spa director ... and the list goes on. The majority of beauticians work in beauty salons, but Beauty Careers can also be found in day and resort spas, residential care homes, and department stores.

Job Outlook
Employment of cosmetologists is projected to grow faster than average through 2016, reports the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Makeup artists, estheticians, and nail technicians will be in particularly great demand. In May 2007, median annual earnings of cosmetologists were $22,210; the highest 10 percent earned more than $41,290.

Licensing and Accreditation Information
