Cosmetology FAQ
- A cosmetologist is trained in a variety of services related to beauty, including hair cutting and hair styling. Some cosmetologists may want to specialize, while others may choose to offer a full range of services.
- A cosmetologist salary can vary widely depending on the skills and training they have acquired, and the services they provide. The median hourly wage for hairdressers, hairstylists, and cosmetologists was $14.50 in 2019. Tips are often a significant part of cosmetology wages, and may be better depending on the quality of the work and good customer service.
