Job Outlook and Opportunities for Careers In Beauty

If you’re passionate about any aspect of the beauty industry, there’s a chance you might’ve thought about pursuing a career in beauty. Maybe that’s why you’re here, or maybe you’re already in the beauty industry and curious about the stats. Either way, we did our homework to help you! We looked at the latest projections and researched beauty careers. With increasing demand for beauty services and plenty of job opportunities and avenues to take, why not pursue a career you love?! You DESERVE a career you love.

ESTHETICIANS/SKIN CARE SPECIALISTS

Let’s cut to the chase. The skin care industry’s projected employment growth is 17%, compared to the 4% growth of all other occupations, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This projection stems from the increase in demand of skin care services, especially quicker facials at a lower cost. People are starting to care for their skin at a much younger age, compared to previous generations. More and more consumers are also turning to Estheticians directly to receive their skin care services, instead of the one-stop salon and spa shops. Estheticians receive a more in-depth, specialized training in skin care compared to Cosmetologists, who are trained in hair, skin, and nail care. If you live and breathe skin care, learn more about our Esthetics program or connect with us directly.
