Books in this very practical series point the way toward good careers for young men and women who don't plan to get a college degree. However, all occupations described do require specialized training, either on the job or in technical or vocational classroom settings. Cosmetology is a growing field with a positive job outlook and many available career paths. This book describes how and where to find training for positions that include professional stylist, nail technician, skin esthetician, massage therapist, make-up artist, cosmetics manufacturer's representative, salon manager and other rewarding careers.

An essential resource!,

This review is from: Careers in Cosmetology (Success Without College) (Paperback)
I read this book because I was considering a career in the cosmetology field and wanted to know the basics. This book has it all, from descriptions of the day-to-day job, to education and certification information, interviews with people who actually do the job, tips for how to write a resume and interview, etc.I think this book would be great not only for career-switchers like me, but also for parents of children who are thinking about getting into cosmetology, and guidance counselors. It does reinforce that above all, cosmetology is a BUSINESS. Even though everyone who was interviewed in the book loves their job, they said that if you want to be successful it's not all about being glamorous and gossiping all day playing with products. There is plenty of information all in one place about how to get started, including Web sites and telephone numbers. After reading it, I was excited and went to visit a local beauty college, something I never would have done before.

This review is from: Careers in Cosmetology (Success Without College) (Paperback)
Nobody thought I should go into cosmetology. They said I would never finish the classes. They thought I should work at the grocery store where I was a cashier and just keep on there until I got to be a manager or something. But that isn't what I wanted to do. A friend gave me this book and after I read it I knew for sure that was what I should do. So I am still working at the store but only at night. In the day time I go to beauty college. Pretty soon I can get out of this grocery store and do what I want!

I purchesed this book for my granddaughter for Christmas. I was able to read about half before wrapping. This book has excellent information for high school students as well as adults cosidering a cosmetology class. I especially enjoyed the information from people in the industry. Check out your choices in the field of Cosmetology. Buy this book.
