I pretty much agree with most of this article… except for the salary part. I don’t think that the writer went far enough. He stated that the top 10% of hair stylists made over $35,990. He didn’t say just how much more than $35,000 and some stylists are making big bucks! And my son hopes to be one of them. He has very expensive tastes. ;)

“Here’s a look at earnings and future of working in the hair-care industry.

• Outlook — The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports employment of barbers, cosmetologists and other personal-appearance workers will grow 9 percent to 17 percent through 2014.

• Professional pathways — New workers are given relatively simple tasks or are assigned simple procedures.

Once they have demonstrated their skills, they are given more complicated tasks.

Advancement takes the form of higher earnings as stylists become more experienced.

Some barbers and cosmetologists manage large salons, lease booth space in salons or open their own salons after several years of experience.”

*One little word of advice. When you choose your salon, be sure that they offer full medical coverage.
