Job Availability The demand for Cosmetologist and Nail Specialists has never been greater. The New York State Department of Labor published a brochure entitled "Occupational Trends" which projects "Hairdresser & Cosmetologist" as the 3rd fastest growth occupation with a 41% projected growth. The NYS Department of Labor also projects "Hairdresser & Cosmetologist" as the 11th largest growth occupation and states; "These jobs offer good employment prospects, higher income and increased advancement opportunities." A recent survey conducted by the National Accrediting Commission of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences concluded that there are more than 500,000 entry-level employment positions available annually in the Beauty Industry. Occupation Availability As a Hairdresser/Cosmetologist you will have a variety of occupations available to you including; Salon Stylist, Haircolor Specialist, Artificial Hair Specialist, Retail Specialist, Skin Care Specialist, Make Up Specialist, Nail Technician, Day Spa Stylist or Technician, Salon Owner, Salon Manager, Manufacturers Representative, Educator, Instructor, Researcher and/or Writer Income Potential and Compensation "Money" Magazine reported that the average Hairdresser/Cosmetologist in the United States makes around $30,000.00 annually. A successful graduate should expect their first entry-level job to guarantee slightly higher than minimum wage; however this is a business that usually pays a commission on salon sales and services. Typically a Cosmetologist and/or Nail Specialist is paid 50% or one half of the revenue generated from the salon services they perform and up to 20% on the retail sales they make. Because the Salon Business is commission driven the more you work the more money you will make. |
