2022 Will Be a Big Year for Cosmetology Careers

It’s a new year and if you’ve been trying to decide on a change in careers, 2022 is the perfect year to make a change to cosmetology. The fast-paced world of cosmetology offers a wide variety of options and this year and beyond, they are calling for a need of over 27,000 cosmetologists in the next year.

Once you’ve completed your training at PR Partners Academy and successfully obtained your license, there are many choices for beginning your career in this high-demand field.

Why is there a demand for cosmetologists?

• An essential service. All men, women, and children need haircare, haircuts, styling, mustache & beard trims, and other services offered by cosmetologists. No matter where you call home, there’s nearly an unlimited supply of future clients to market. 
• Increase in population. As our population increases each year, the numbers add up that the need for cosmetologists will continue to rise.
• Cosmetologists can deliver a calming & uplifting setting. When you offer your cosmetology services, you’re also providing a reassuring and relaxing setting where your clients can come into an upscale salon that provides them with a stress-free environment where they can escape their daily stressors.
• Cosmetologists can offer great results. Once you market and make a name for yourself, you will have loyal clients who love coming back to you again and again. At PR Partners Academy, we strive to give you world-class training that will set you apart from the competition.
• Renewed admiration. Because of the absence of cosmetology services amid the pandemic, people have developed a renewed appreciation for the value of their salon and the expertise that their cosmetologist offers. They’ve realized that they cannot get the same level of skill at home.
   

What are the benefits of becoming a cosmetologist?

• Being social. If you enjoy meeting and talking with people, this could be the perfect field for you. Every day you get the chance to meet new people and help them transform their look so that they both look and feel fabulous.  You begin to blend the lines between clients and friends as you share your experiences and become a part of their lives. 
• Helping others. With the skills and techniques you learn at PR Partners Academy, you will not only be able to help others feel and look their best, but you will be learning valuable business skills that can eventually lead you to open your own business if you choose. 
• Enjoy the freedom of an independent lifestyle. There are many career options within the cosmetology realm. Besides starting your own business, you can make career choices for travel, working on assignments in the fashion industry, or even choosing your own hours. There are many possibilities to fit your independent lifestyle. 
• Exercise your creativity. A cosmetologist is more than just cutting hair to a certain style. Every day you can explore your creativity with different hair textures, types, and hair coloring techniques. It can be a rewarding career where each day is just a little different than the previous one.
