Hairstylists topped a job satisfaction survey conducted in the UK

• Snip ‘n’ smile ~~ Carolina D’Souza of gulfnews.com writes about how hairstylists have topped this year’s annual survey conducted by a UK-based company, City & Guilds Happiness Index. This comes as no surprise whatever, as I have always said that this industry is full of personal satisfaction and fulfillment, plus lots of opportunity for someone who is willing to really strive to become the top of the pile. Some celebrity hairstylists live in the same neighborhood as their clients.

  “Ask other hairstylists, they’ll be able to tell you who in your area is turning out hot graduates” I got tired of the corporate politics, I needed to be around people and have some flexibility and freedom in my job. I quit my job and went to cosmetology school  and spent the next 27 years in the business and have never regretted a day of it. I proudly renew my license each year.

  Hairstyling is a career which allows you to showcase your creativity to have fun, to earn, fame and good money. Its a great opportunity for growth, you’ll have the opportunity to meet new people and always be on the cutting edge of fashion. Most hairstylists count their clients as friends, everyday you’re hearing about the important stuff in their lives. People sharing things with their hairstylist that they won’t even talk about with their best friends.

  Each state has different licensing requirements, but in most states you can be licensed after about six months of beauty school. Cosmetology schools are plentiful and have a wide range of costs so shop around. The brand name of  beauty schools really does not matter much. Getting a job in any hair care salon is usually pretty easy it’s getting the clients that is the hard part. I have never had a client ask where I graduated and even if they had they wouldn’t know one from another.

  Visit the schools and look at the results of their clients walking out the door. Ask other hairstylists, they’ll be able to tell you who in your area is turning out hot graduates. For more information about a career in the business checkout the Beauty Schools Directory.
