5 Reasons Going to Beauty School Should be Your New Year’s Resolution

As the new year quickly approaches, it’s time to start making your list of New Year’s resolutions. Perhaps you want to make some big changes in 2022 – and you’re ready to find a career you’re passionate about. If working in the beauty industry is something you’ve always dreamed of, why not make attending beauty school your new year’s goal?

The start of 2022 is the perfect opportunity to pursue your education goals. But making such a big decision can be intimidating. Going to cosmetology school requires commitment. Cosmetology programs for beauty schools in Idaho require 1600 hours of training before students can apply for the state exam.

But if becoming a cosmetologist, hairstylist, salon owner, or any other career in the beauty industry has been your dream, there’s no better time to make it a reality! Here are 5 key reasons why enrolling in cosmetology school should be your 2022 New Year’s resolution.

1.     Beauty Skills are In Demand

The job outlook for cosmetologists has been consistently on the rise and the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates a 19% growth in job opportunities through 2030! This is a far higher growth rate than the average occupation – which means that beauty skills are in incredibly high demand around the country.

There are also so many career opportunities you can pursue once you complete training and earn your state license. Along with working in a traditional salon as a hairstylist, cosmetologists can also work as:

• Hairstylist for events, theatre productions, and films
• Product representative
• Style consultant or editor
• Makeup artist
• Salon manager or owner

2.     Start Your Career Quicker

We know that it’s a big commitment to start a new career path, especially one that requires an education. But unlike a traditional college experience, beauty school doesn’t typically last four years. In fact, students in our cosmetology program complete their training and learn of all the latest techniques and trends in under a year if they are enrolled full-time.

That means you can apply for beauty school, learn the latest techniques, graduate, and start working toward your career all in the same year! That is a great feeling to know that you can quickly make a name for yourself in the industry you love.

3.     Offers a Fresh Start

The beginning of the year is the perfect time to set new goals and intentions. Nearly 75% of Americans set New Year’s resolutions for themselves, and this new year could offer you that fresh start you’ve been looking for!

Whether you’ve recently graduated from high school or you’re just looking to switch up your career, the beginning of 2022 is the perfect time to make some changes. At Austin Kade Academy, you’ll have the chance to learn a whole new set of skills to set you on the right path for a bright future. Our instructors are committed to helping each and every student master every technique with a hands-on learning approach so they are prepared for their future outside of cosmetology school.

4.     Help People Feel Amazing

One reason why so many people decide to work in the beauty industry is that they have a true passion for helping other people look and feel their best. Working as a cosmetologist is a very rewarding career. You’ll have the chance to use your natural talents to make a direct impact on people’s lives by giving them a new look and building up their self-confidence.

We’ve all had that moment where the stylist turns our chair toward the mirror and we see our new style for the first time. It feels even better to be the one behind the chair and see your client light up!

5.     Make Your Own Schedule

Perhaps one reason you are holding back from enrolling in beauty school is that you don’t know how you’ll manage to fit classes into your schedule. At Austin Kade Academy, we offer part-time and full-time schedules along with even classes so that anyone can study what they love when it’s most convenient.

This will give you a lot more flexibility, especially if you have a job or other responsibilities. While it will take you longer to graduate compared to enrolling in a full-time course, you can still complete your 1600 hours in beauty school in Idaho at your own pace!

The beauty industry also allows flexible scheduling for a lot of professionals. After all, you’re the one who people are coming to so chances are that you’ll have a big say in which days you work and for how long. It’s great to know that you’re able to have so much control in your career even beyond your time in beauty school!
