Not everyone is cut out for a 9-5 job, and fortunately, you don’t have to pursue that path if it’s not for you. They say that if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life. Are you ready to find your dream career? Here are 5 signs that starting cosmetology school at the College of Hair Design (CHD) at our East Campus could be the right step for you.
1. Traditional Post-Secondary School Isn’t for You
Have you been dreading college because you know it’s just not the right fit? Have you been enrolled in college before and struggled to enjoy it? Cosmetology school isn’t like a traditional college. At CHD, our cosmetology program offers flexible day and evening schedules to accommodate your lifestyle. Unlike a traditional college experience, you’ll have the chance to work in our student salon, practicing real services on real clients under the supervision of licensed instructors.
We believe education should be tailored to your life, not the other way around. Whether you’re a recent high school graduate or have been in school or working for a few years, it’s time to pursue your true passion.
2. You Love the Beauty Industry
Who do you follow on Instagram? How many of those accounts are related to makeup, hair, fashion, or the beauty industry? If you follow many beauty accounts and idolize talented hairstylists or makeup artists, it’s a sign you should consider cosmetology school. At CHD, we share your passion for the beauty industry and are dedicated to helping you turn that passion into a career.
3. You’ve Always Known Beauty is in Your Future
Did your dolls always have the hottest hairstyle? Some people in the industry say they were born for this, and we believe that to be true. If you’ve always had a strong desire to create something beautiful and help others feel their best, cosmetology might be your calling. Many industry professionals have found their passion and reward in this field, often inspired by family members who share the same love for beauty.
4. The Job Possibilities Excite You
The beauty industry offers a wide range of career opportunities: hair stylist, platform artist, salon owner, product sales, salon manager, cosmetic buyer, beauty writer, and more. With a cosmetology license, drive, and passion, the possibilities are endless. If these job titles excite you, don’t hesitate to start your journey at CHD.
5. You’re Ready to Do Something Great
If you’re ready to change your life, do something you love, and help others, contact our admissions department or schedule a campus visit. Every day we see how beauty changes lives—it can change yours too. Get started on the path toward your future at the College of Hair Design.
