Whenever we ask someone what they are doing after high school or what are they doing currently post-high school. We hope to hear the one and only answer: attending a four-year university. As soon as we hear something like cosmetology school people many think that that person does not have aspirations or they only want the easy way out. This is forgetting the fact that you always will need someone to cut your hair and prepare you for special occasions like graduation!

Not everyone is capable of dedicating time and precision to someone’s hair or makeup. It is definitely a form of education and it is not something everyone is capable of doing. Apart from being able to engage in this form of art, a cosmetologist is able to connect with their client. They can relate to a diverse group of people and discuss many different topics that cater to the client. I could never focus on one task that requires my hands and eyes, as well as invest time talking and listening.

A cosmetologist is also very innovative. They have to be able to keep their clients and others intrigued and up to date with the current trends. They are their own marketers. Many skills and other disciplines come into play when interacting with other people. Ones that are often self-taught.

How impressive is that?

They have to observe what would be best for themselves and their clientele. Many use social media as a means to interact with others and intrigue people to their work. It is a lot of labor gone into producing their self-business. They are advancing their art every day.

Like cosmetology, it is important to acknowledge the importance of each profession.

Everything is needed and specific people truly have the talent and dedication to partake in.

If we take one occupation out of our day to day lives, then we are left with a void of something we take for granted. Something that we could not do ourselves. Like everything in life, this is a form of education. The only difference is that with some specialities, you do not have to go through the angst of unnecessary academic jargon. It is a very direct pathway in its process and language.
