It’s easier to choose your path when you’re
in demand Every Hair Design School student has a unique story and career goals. But they all have one thing in common: they all chose cosmetology.

6th largest growth field3
Nearly half of salon employees choose a flexible part-time schedule so they can balance other priorities2 Many workers, especially those who are selfemployed, determine their own schedules5

“
The cosmetology industry is unparalleled in opportunities. The relationships I’ve built over the years are price less. I’ve shared so many happy moments (weddings, parties, awards) and helped so many through those tough times (illness, accidents, deaths). Who knew the rewards would be this great? Being a platform artist has led me around the world teaching and sharing, while partnering with a great manufacturer has given me direction and purpose in everything I do. There are no limits to what you can experience in the beauty industry.
