| Beauty Schools Help More Students Find Jobs in Tough Times Now is the optimal time to find a beauty school and launch a career |
| Staten Island, NY, April 27, 2011 – Ever heard of the “Lipstick Indicator”? It’s the term given to the fact that during a recession, cosmetic sales tend to increase, as coined by Leonard Lauder (chairman of Estee Lauder). In other words, there’s something to the idea that looking good is one way people are trying to feel better about the tough economic times we are in. And in the beauty industry, that’s good news for aspiring beauty school students who are aiming to provide those look-good, feel-good services, say experts at SpaBeautySchools.com. More demand for beauty services will mean more job openings for those who are considering or currently working on their education at beauty schools. The stats support this as well: Job growth for barbers, cosmetologists and other personal-appearance workers is expected to grow by 20 percent through 2018, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In the related spa industry, massage therapy employment is another area expecting healthy increases in job openings with 19 percent. “Now is an optimal time to explore SpaBeautySchools.com, and perform a comprehensive search for beauty schools in your area,” says Gina LaGuardia, vice president of content development and social media at The CollegeBound Network. “And while you’re there, you can get an inside look at the beauty and wellness industry, hear from top professionals in the fields like nail technology, massage therapy, and hair design, and garner more in-depth knowledge of what beauty school education is all about.” It’s important to do your research, as today’s top cosmetology schools go beyond teaching styling tricks and beauty procedures.
