Lets Talk About skin Care, Beauty And Health Tips

I want to study cosmetology, but I'm more interested in skin care. I know cosmetologists get paid like 6 an hour, but how much does a skin care specialist get paid??

Answer
An hourly rate completely depends on who you are working for and what the terms of your employment are. For example, if you rent your own space and are doing simple european facials, you can generally charge between $65 and $150 per hour depending on where you are located (nowhere, Virginia or New York City). If you own the space, this is all yours - do 4 a day and you have yourself a nice $100,000 per year job. If you enter into a "split" agreement with a spa or clinic owner, you may get a 50% split of whatever you do, so the same facial, you will get $35 to $75 for each treatment. The difference here is that you have no expenses or overhead to deal with.

Lastly, if you have specialty equipment like a LipoMax, or DermaPod machine, for example, you can charge a LOT more for each treatment - well into the hundreds. Also- you can set up repeat treatments to get a much higher average customer value.

Dermatology Skin Care carear help!?

I've always wanted a carear in skin care. My dream job would be working for companies such as Dermalogica or Neutrogena.
However, I'm not sure if that is a specific job or carear.
I've thought about becoming a dermatologist but I would just want to focus on acne instead of all skin problems.
Is there any profession that entails researching and coming up with new products?

Answer
Research and Development (R&D)

You'd probably need an advanced degree in either Chemical Engineering, Materials (Science) Engineering, Biological or Biomedical Engineering, Biology, Chemistry, or Pharmaceutical Sciences.

Heres a link to the Johnson and Johnson employment website (they own Neutrogena):

Try searching for a job with the description you would want and look at the requirements.

I don't think Dermatology is the best route to go through especially if you don't want to actually practice as a doctor. Dermatology is one of the most competitive residencies in medicine and you should be fine with doing another medical specialty as a back up if you pursue that route.

I really want to be a cosmetologist, and a successful one. My Grandpa & my aunt are cosmetologist. They are trying to talk me out of it. I just want to be VERY successful.

Answer
Cosmetologists are beauty professionals who provide hair care and hair styling services to customers. They may shampoo, color, cut and style hair. In addition, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, or BLS, notes that some cosmetologists provide makeup analysis or nail care services. To qualify for employment, cosmetologists complete postsecondary training and, in some states, they must be licensed.

Education
Most states will require aspiring cosmetologists to attend a licensed cosmetology school. Programs are available at some high schools, as well as at public and private vocational schools, notes the BLS. A full-time cosmetology program, such as the one offered by Regency Beauty Institute, can be completed in as little as seven months in some states. Cosmetology students learn about hair cutting and coloring, nail and skin care and the salon business.

Licensure
The BLS notes that all states require cosmetologists to be licensed, with the exception of shampooers. While specific qualifications vary by state, in general a cosmetologist must be at least 16 years old, have a GED or high school diploma and be a graduate of a licensed cosmetology school. After graduating from a licensed program, aspiring cosmetologists take an examination that may contain written, oral and practical portions.

Skills
In addition to meeting education and certification requirements, cosmetologists need to be knowledgeable about fashion and beauty trends. The BLS notes that interpersonal skills are important--so much so that some cosmetology schools require students to take courses in that area. Successful cosmetologists combine their technical know-how with business acumen and the ability to communicate well with clients; sales skills have become vital for cosmetologists as more salons get revenue from retail sales, according to the BLS.

Job Outlook
Employment for cosmetologists is expected to increase by about 20 percent through the year 2018. This growth is largely driven by population increases and a greater demand for hair coloring services by the so-called "baby boomers" and youths, notes the BLS. Competition will be keen for jobs at high-paying salons, but job prospects are excellent for cosmetologists who are trained and licensed to provide a variety of services to clients.

What is the expected job availability in the cosmetology field in the next 10 years?

Also what is the expected income for this field in the next ten years?

Answer
Overall employment of barbers, cosmetologists, and other personal appearance workers is projected to grow about 9 to 17 percent for all occupations through 2014, because of an increasing population, rising incomes, and growing demand for personal appearance services. In addition to those arising from job growth, numerous job openings will come about from the need to replace workers who transfer to other occupations, retire, or leave the labor force for other reasons.

Median annual earnings in May 2004 for salaried hairdressers, hairstylists, and cosmetologists, including tips and commission, were $19,800. The middle 50 percent earned between $ 15,480 and $26,600. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $12,920, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $35,990.

Median annual earnings in May 2004 for salaried barbers, including tips, were $21,200. The middle 50 percent earned between $15,380 and $30,390. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $12,950, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $43,170.

Among skin care specialists, median annual earnings, including tips, were $ 24,010, for manicurists and pedicurists $18,500, and for shampooers $14,610.

Generally expect salaries to increase by about an average of 3% per year.

What jobs are available for a licensed esthetician?

I am 19yrs old i've been a flight attendant and worked as a cosmeticcosmetic microcurrent technician....i have always been interested in becoming an esthetician but ive been told its not a good career to get into. I would like to know where the industry is going.

Answer
What are some of the esthetician career opportunities?
Becoming an esthetician can lead to many different career paths, including salon, spa and resort employment, manicurist, pedicurist or manager. Individuals who become estheticians could also find rewarding careers in cosmetics marketing, purchasing, or beauty consulting, while others move into the medical community as paramedical estheticians or esthetician training instructors. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said in 2010 that they anticipate a 25% growth in esthetics jobs through the year 2020, faster than the average for all careers. Also, a study was recently released stating that spa industry revenue grew 4.5%, faster than the U.S. economy overall, so we anticipate continued growth for skin care professions.

There are two types of esthetician license available, basic and master. All states require estheticians to be licensed before they can work. An esthetician is a beauty services professional who specializes in skin care treatments. The services available include microderm abrasion, laser treatment, waxing and facials.

There are three requirements to obtain an esthetician license: education, experience and licensing examination. All three are required to qualify for a position as an esthetician. In the United States, the number of hours education required varies between the different states, but the average is 650 hours for the basic license and 1,500 for a masters license.

Esthetician programs do not require a degree or diploma. The course hour requirement is met by registering for skin care courses at an accredited beauty school or community college. A basic license requires four months of full-time study. Courses include skin analysis, the physical structure of skin and how to apply skin care treatments.

The master esthetician license program is usually eight months of full-time study. All the same courses as the basic license are covered. In addition, the masters program includes chemical peels, laser hair removal, laser skin abrasion and microderm abrasions.
Once you have obtained your esthetician license, you will be able to find employment in spa, skin clinic, beauty salon and specialty skin office. Many master esthetician license holders work with dermatologist and plastic surgeons to help patients recover from surgery. This type of career is based on building a clientèle, so it is important to have good interpersonal skills.

What are the average esthetician salaries?
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, esthetician salaries average $28,920 per year, but esthetician salary depends on a number of factors. Many estheticians choose to work part-time instead of full time, and salary has the potential to grow with experience, growing clientele, and increasing hours worked. Another thing the BLS data often does not account for accurately is the tips an esthetician may receive for their skin care services. For more information about beauty wages, compare the average esthetician salaries with the average cosmetology salaries.
