Remarkable Growth: Beauty sales in the U.S. have grown from $8.6 billion in 2010, to $9.5 billion in 2011, and to $10.2 billion in 2012. (MarketWired and The NPD Group, Inc.)

(IBISWorld) Great Self-Employment Opportunities: Big companies have few advantages over small ones, which is why small salons can compete successfully through technical superiority or favorable location.

Skin Care Growth: Extremely favorable growth is expected in the Skin Care market as consumers continue to trade-up for facial, anti-aging innovation. (Demeter Group and Beauty Cross Channel Monitor) Demand is High: The need for cosmetologists, estheticians, makeup artists and stylists is growing. Several national trends are driving the growth of jobs in the beauty industry. There are nearly a million jobs in the industry in the United States alone, and the field is the perfect place for entrepreneurial creative types who dream of starting their own businesses. The earning potential is great, whether you′re looking for a part time job to help pay the bills, or a lucrative salon or spa ownership position. (Beauty School Network) |

Excellent Employment: According to the NACCAS Job Demand Survey, the demand for well-trained professionals in the field outstrips the supply. Future hiring plans are robust and the industry is projected to continue growing.

When demand outweighs supply,
you have an excellent opportunity to
gain employment upon graduation!
Your license opens up a world of opportunities for you! Many degrees are focused on one specific job type (like nursing, you work as a nurse) so if later in life you want to change careers you need to go back to college and spend more money to get a different type of degree. Your license in the beauty industry is not like that because you have so much variety that one license is all you need.

*Limited Top 20 training occurs in the Nail Technician program because it is a short course not allowing us sufficient time to teach it all. Nail artists that upgrade to the Day Spa program receive the full Top 20 training. The above national average salary amounts were reported in accordance with information from AACS, AllSalaryData.com, Small Business Chron and Entrepreneur.com, which do not include tips.
