If you\u2019re someone who loves to read beauty blogs, dye your hair, or play with makeup, then a career in the beauty industry may be for you. The beauty industry is filled with stable careers that seem to outlast even the harshest recessions. After all, everyone wants to feel beautiful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To top it off, becoming a cosmetologist is quite easy. While some beauty experts may <\/span>want an MBA<\/span><\/a> to start their own salon, it isn\u2019t necessary. All you\u2019ll need is a high school diploma and a beauty license to start most careers in the industry. Some specialized careers, like dermatology, require med school. On the other hand, beauty writers don’t have to go to college at all!<\/span><\/p>\n

While your specific beauty career pathway may look different from your peers, there are a few commonalities that appear in all professions. But first, why should you start a career in beauty?<\/span><\/p>\n

3 Reasons to Consider a Career in the Beauty Industry<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Whether you want to <\/span>become a hair stylist<\/span><\/a> or an esthetician, there are plenty of reasons to start a career in the beauty industry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s why you should train to be a part of this industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Many Beauty Professions are in High Demand<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The <\/span>U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics<\/span><\/a> gives barbers, hair stylists, and cosmetologists a job outlook rate of 11%, which is much faster than average. Other careers, like estheticians, cosmetic surgeons<\/a>, massage therapists, and laser hair removal technicians, are also in high demand.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Beauty Professionals Have High Satisfaction Rates<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A <\/span>TINYpulse study<\/span><\/a> that surveyed over 30,000 employees found that 79% of hairdressers and beauticians rate the job satisfaction as high. The same study showed that hairdressers and beauticians deal with lower stress levels, especially if their work environment is usually calm.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. The Beauty Industry is Varied and Flexible<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Beauty professionals aren\u2019t tied to one job, state, or career choice. Their expertise can be found in nearly any industry because it\u2019s so people-focused. Beauty professionals are allowed to build their lifestyle around their careers or stay in one place, which is possible due to high job security.<\/span><\/p>\n

Depending on what career you choose, your job could be high paying. Dermatologists can make over $200,000 a year, whereas freelance hair stylists could make $100,000 from a home salon.<\/span><\/p>\n
