2. Open up multiple career options
Whether your dream is to open your own barber shop, be a freelance make-up artist or work in a fancy salon, a qualification in hair, beauty or make-up can take you in lots of different directions.
“Pathways for your career can include working overseas, on cruise ships, in salons, in theatre, film or TV, in the fashion industry, or teaching,” Andrea says. “Salon ownership and freelance is another popular option for the more experienced and business savvy.”
You’ll also have options to work in different specialisations to fit what you love most.
“For example, in the beauty industry you might lean towards spa, nails, hair removal, brows or skin clinics. For hairdressing or barbering you might become a colourist or a cutting specialist.”
