Cosmetology as a profession

A cosmetologist is a specialist in beauty and cosmetics. Cosmetologists work with many types of beauty products and often sell them at their salons as well. Cosmetologists not only care for their client's beauty needs but also often act as a consultant to many clients when requested. They give their professional opinions and suggestions regarding skincare options, cosmetic application, colors and flattering hairstyles that would best suit the customer. Depending on the size of the establishment or salon they work in a cosmetologist's duties may vary and be many or very few.
