PHYSICAL DEMANDS OF THE PROFESSION
Cosmetology is a rewarding profession, both personally and financially. The profession gives you the opportunity to meet and work with people in all walks of life. A pleasing personality is a must for a successful stylist. In most cases, professional stylists will find that several hours of their day is spent on their feet so a good soft pair of shoes is recommended. Finger dexterity is also a requirement.
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Safety is a great concern for all professions; however, there are some areas that we need to be concerned with. There are many implements that a student or stylist must be conscious of while using, sharp razors and shears, hot curling irons, blow dryers and other electrical equipment that could cause injury. There are also chemicals that stylists will come in contact with; i.e., permanent wave solutions, hair coloring, hair relaxers and nail products. Rubber gloves are supplied, plus information on all chemicals used is available through our Material Data Safety Sheets manual in each school location.
