Courses in cosmetology schools train you in all aspects of personal care, including personal hygiene, haircutting and hairstyling, skin care, scalp care, facial massaging and more. Some cosmetology students may opt to have a more specialized focus in their course work, and take courses in manicures, pedicures, and electrolysis. Cosmetology schools also generally include practice on live "customers" in school shops used for training purposes.

A large percentage of cosmetology school graduates are self-employed, often working as part of a larger salon. Other cosmetology professionals work on salary within the salon. About 90% of cosmetologists work in various aspects of hair and facial care, with the remainder finding employment as manicurists, pedicurists, skin care specialists, or shampooers. Job prospects for graduates of cosmetology schools are expected to be excellent.
