Are you interested in making others look beautiful, then don’t waste a good part of your life seeking jobs in areas like engineering or medicine just because you think that taking up a job in a beauty parlor or spa is an embarrassing or low income job. The only thing that matters now is income and what if you could make a fortune doing what you like the most, then why wait for anything else.

Why the demand in this profession?

Today as a result of the ever increasing pollution problem and the rapid urbanisation spa’s and beauty centres are doing quite a lucrative business. And believe me guys the people who own these centres are willing to spend a fortune on good stylists. So if you believe that you got what it takes to be a stylist then opt for the cosmetology courses offered by various institutes and you could soon end up styling up your favourite celebrity and see your names mentioned on MTV.

I’m not joking guys coz today in India there is pretty much enough urban population who can spend lavishly at spa’s and salons for hours of beauty treatments and therapies. Today it’s not the posh upper class men and women who visit beauty parlours once or twice in a week but also are the average middle class people. The scale of dust and pollution in cities has gone up to such an alarming rate that it requires a person to visit parlours for frequent skin treatments.

What will you be taught in cosmetology courses?

Cosmetology courses that are offered in India and abroad mainly focuses on grooming and styling concepts. They mainly focus on training candidates in hair styling, skin treatment including therapies, ayurvedic therapies which have at recent times garnered huge attention from the international community, body tuning and cosmetic surgeries.

Do you think celebrities doesn’t age at all, then you are fooled man coz they carry tons of plastic and this is accomplished as a result of careful work by skilled beauticians and cosmetic surgeons. Celebrities are frequent customers in skin surgery clinics because the older you become the lesser the protagonist role you are going to receive in a film. Now looking great is good but what really counts is feeling great and that’s the key reason why many cosmetology courses now include body fitness and mental relaxation technique as part of their curriculum.

Earlier the only chance of you getting into a good career as a beautician was to stay as an assistant for years with an established and reputed beauty specialist. Once they gain experience and have enough money, they start a parlour of their own. But now the scenario has changed. Once you complete your courses in cosmetology there will be spa’s and salons running behind you offering great salaries so you don’t have to worry about setting up your own salon. An average stylist in a reputed parlour makes around 15K a month now. So it’s not at all a low income job.

And boy you can start making a name for yourself by experimenting new styles and grooming techniques especially in hair treatment and hair dressing. There is an interesting way of building your own career portfolio. Just click a photo of a customer on whom you have successfully implemented your latest styling experiments and then keep this collection as a manifesto of your experience and it could help you achieve better jobs in the industry.

In India cosmetology courses that are reliable have a small disadvantage that it is offered mainly in metro and Tier 1 cities. So you may have to shift base if you want to have a successful career but the rewards might prove that your decisions were right and that you took the right choice. Some key institutes or schools offering beauty courses are located in Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore. If you want to know the nearest place to your home that offers such courses you can just search in the yellow pages of your local newspapers or just search online for the same.

Some Tips for Success..

Here are some tips that might prove to be beneficial in helping you attain a good career in cosmetology.

Try to complete your graduation before enrolling for a beauty courses because it still keeps a backup just in case you don’t end up in the right place. Maintain a personal portfolio for yourself as I mentioned earlier. Try to work as an apprentice under a reputed stylist for a short period before trying to make a name for yourself. Make sure you enrol for a reliable course in an established Beauty school or institute because as in the case of any course there will be fakes and fraudulent cases. And last but not least Enjoy what you do, it is the key element in any profession because if you don’t love what you are doing then you wont be feeling good doing it for a while.

Fly To Greater Heights

Doing these courses just don’t restrict you to working in salons and spa’s in Indian cities. Students who have completed beautician courses are wanted in many parlours worldwide especially in the fashion and movie industries like Hollywood where stylists determine the style of the youth through their experiments on celebrities. This trend is now on the rise in India also as many youth are attempting to replicate the styles of their favourite star on the ground or on the screens. But mind you this is an extremely perfection demanding job because the more skill you have the more beneficial it will be to you and the lesser you have will shorten your career or bound it in chains to some local parlour with no relevant growth.

So if you think you have what it takes to be a top tier stylist then opt for the cosmetology courses offered at your nearest reliable centre because a  huge industry awaits you and who knows you could soon be pepping up the looks of Sharukh or Beckham.
