Congratulations! You’re on the road to graduating beauty school and your future is looking BRIGHT. But, what comes next? Navigating life post-graduation can seem daunting, but you’ll quickly learn you’ve been equipped with the skills to succeed. Read on to learn what you can expect after you reach your hours and become a licensed professional.
All Types of Job Opportunities
The BEAUTY of a license in our industry is the many places it can take you. This is not a one-size-fits-all career path. You can take advantage of your education and use it to mold a future unique to you. You can discover endless opportunities as a skin care specialist, hairstylist, make-up artist, masseuse, and more. Many students equip themselves with multiple licenses, or offer a plethora of services, to help build a large clientele and/or their own business.
You’ll also discover unique ways to pair your personal passions with your education. Students interested in health and wellness might include overall wellness consultations in their esthetics or massage practice. Makeup artists passionate about fashion might double as a stylist. Licensed professionals passionate about content creation and/or marketing could build a massive online following.
Your ultimate future depends on the work you put in – an education from Aveda should teach you that! You’ve learned the value of hard work, and will now find it natural to apply that to your job hunt and career path. Network with your community, market yourself online, and prove your value with excellent work, and the opportunities will come rolling in!
