Beauty Services: Beauticians, Manicurists, and Cosmetologists Training in Ohio

College students in the Buckeye State enjoy the arts and culture of major cities and the quiet peace of small towns. A diverse and thriving state, Ohio has long been known for tolerance and is the least segregated of any American state. Ohio is a haven for the arts, with exceptional modern dance at Oberlin, world-class symphony orchestra in Cleveland, and a reborn downtown haven in Cincinatti, a city that blends the South and Midwest without clashing. Going to college in Ohio is a great choice for those who want to taste traditional American small-town charm without sacrificing the culture of the big city.

Hairdresser schooling leads to a fast-growing industry

While hairdressers or hair stylists often have a predominantly female clientele, barbers often have mostly male customers. Both have similar training requirements and job opportunities. Hairdressers usually attend beauty colleges where they specialize in hair styling and hair-related services. Additional training can lead to becoming a licensed cosmetologist who provides many types of beauty services such as for hair, nails, makeup, skin, and related products.

What can you learn at hairdresser schools?

Hairdressers learn the skills and information for a variety of beauty services:

Evaluating clients' face shapes for the most attractive cut and styling.
Evaluating scalp and hair health, shampooing, repairing chemically damaged hair, cutting and styling, doing weaves and highlights, styling and cutting mustaches and beards, and advising clients about hair care products and home care.
Expanding earning opportunities by learning how to clean, style, and fit wigs and hairpieces.
Some hairdressers learn to do manicures and pedicures to expand earning opportunities.
Managing salons including employees, finances, overhead, and product inventory.

Income and job potentials for hair stylists

Hairdressers work at an established salon or spa and then many start their own business. As an employee you can increase earnings by bringing new business to your employer. You can find job opportunities in resorts, spas, department stores, hotels, cruise ships, retirement and nursing homes, funeral parlors, as a platform artist or assistant for hair product companies, and in the theater/movie industry. The Bureau of Labor Statistics cites the mean hourly wage for hairdressers in May 2010 as $12.74 and their mean annual wages as $26,510. Enjoy hairdressing -- a creative occupation in a fast-growing field.
