What is Cosmetology?

Cosmetology is both the art and science of beautifying and correcting hair, skin, and nails. Unlike Estheticians who focus on skincare only, Cosmetologists are licensed to perform services on hair, nails and skin, but usually focus on hair. Cosmetologists perform services like hair cuts, hair coloring, hair styling, and other beauty treatments to help their clients maintain their outer appearance.

What Tasks Do Cosmetologists Perform? 

Cosmetologists perform a variety of jobs and tasks. However, these are the most common:

  • Hair Coloring
  • Hair Color Formulation
  • Hair Cuts
  • Up-Dos
  • Hair Styling
  • Hair Braiding
  • Hair Extensions

Cosmetologists can also choose to continue their education and branch into other beauty services like eyelash extensions, barbering, and Esthetics or skincare.
