Cosmetology School Sacramento Helps Start Great Careers

By Ivy Catubig


There is a great deal of demand for people desiring careers in the field of personal beauty. Cosmetology school Sacramento can help an individual acquire all the necessary requirements to work in all areas of aesthetics.

Many beauty institutions have a year round enrollment policy and interested individuals only need a HS diploma. Choosing the right place to attend should be based on factors such as the length of courses, costs, and whether they will provide lessons that will meet state licensing test requirements.

With year round classes, it is possible to become a licensed Esthetician in as little as 15 weeks and a Cosmetologist in ten months if scheduling full time. Part time will, of course, take longer, but is easier to schedule around your work and life. In terms of cost, expect to pay about $14,000 for tuition, books and equipment for the cosmetology course and about $8,000 for the esthetics course.

One thing a person should look for in their intended institution is the ability to practice on real customers in a working student salon so that there is supervision while developing the real life skills required to graduate and become licensed. There are several areas that are covered in this field, including the cutting, coloring and styling of hair, various makeup application techniques, as well as face and body waxing.

Make sure the course includes the particular areas you are most interested in to start and develop your career. The esthetics course will prepare you to work in spas and the cosmetologist course to work in salons - spas being a particular growth area at present.

Obtaining the skills to build a lucrative career in beauty or aesthetics can happen without being required to spend many years in pricey schools. One might even be eligible for financial aid or scholarships. Those who dream of working in these fields can be on their way with just a little planning and research.
