Study Cosmetology Abroad
Among the most diversified and fastest-growing professions for people entering the workforce is cosmetology, which offers a variety of specializations such as hairstylist, barber, manicurist, pedicurist, makeup artist, and cosmetic laser technician. Because the fashion, beauty, film, and theater sectors are global, it is also one of the fastest-growing employment fields. The most apparent places to study cosmetology abroad are the cultural hubs of Europe, Asia, Australia, and the United States.
Cosmetology is a growing field, both in the number of jobs available and the amount of different areas to specialize in. Fashion and beauty, like art and theater, can vary widely in different parts of the world, so exposing yourself to cosmetology practices abroad will only further expand your education.
Studying abroad allows students to expand their cosmetology skills into the rapidly expanding fields of nail artistry, esthetics, aromatherapy, and spa therapies. It also opens up a variety of training and internship opportunities, including the luxury market, which includes cruise ships, resorts, and high-fashion centers.
Cosmetology is a universal ability, much like art and music, but like art and music, your surroundings influence and reflect your work. It is beneficial to learn how to view your work from a different cultural standpoint.
Where you study cosmetology abroad depends largely on your career goals and what area you choose to specialize in. If you want to build a career linked to the fashion or film world, or with a marketing or business mindset, there’s an advantage to choosing one of the four acknowledged fashion and style centers of the world, London, Milan, New York, and Paris. Each of these cities hosts twice-yearly Fashion Week extravaganzas that showcase not only new fashion designs, but the latest in beauty and hairstyle trends, and draw the who’s-who in every aspect of the industry, so these can be great places to jump-start your career too.
Courses & Programs
Cosmetology study abroad programs can be of almost any length, varying from a few days of training to week-long clinics highlighting a particular area of cosmetology – such as eye treatments or skin rejuvenation. There are also full two or four-year degree programs focused more on ancillary areas, such as business and salon management, medical sciences, or fashion production techniques.
Courses under Cosmetology are:
Perfumes & Cosmetics
Makeup Artistry & Hairstyling
Beauty Therapy & Skin Rejuvenation
Nail Art & Waxing.
Massage Therapy & Spa Therapy
To be successful in the field, cosmetologists must have a broad worldview, a wide range of knowledge and experience, and be up to date on the latest styles, techniques, and skills. Therefore, some of the most well-trained and knowledgeable cosmetologists are likely to be those who have explored cosmetology on the international level.
