This is so sad, but it doesnt have to be

4 Creative Degrees to consider instead of hair school: Cosmetology is one of the fastest growing industries in America, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, but it is also one of the industries with the lowest average pay and limited opportunity for advancement.Many creative-minded people begin the process of b...ecoming a licensed cosmetologist, only to become discouraged by the competition, low pay or licensing process. According to the BLS, cosmetologists make between $16,500-$20,000 on average. This was taken from http://www.classesandcareers.comSee More

This is why we must fight for change in licensing, how we train new hairdressers, what we pay, career path, salary, healthcare and long term futures.

I recommend The Salon Industry Business Artist for everyone!

Why salons and hairdressers have the same problems

Salons are hiring but
claim that good help is hard to find, and hairdressers claim that salons
are not offering them enough. Both are right!
There are many factors involved; here are a few:
1) Schools (which are regulated by state boards) have done little
to update the needs of education within the profession.
2) Today's hairdresser cannot rely on the basic education received
in school.
3) Some salons are unable to offer the needed training on both
the creative and business aspects at various levels.
4) There are two types of salons owners: Industry and non-
Industry or hairdressers and non-hairdressers. Neither always
understands the other side of the business.
5) A cosmetology license is not enough. Some states require
continuing education credits.
6) These credits have little to do with what hairdressers really do
each day in their profession.
7) In a world where healthcare is so vital to the employee, salons
cannot afford and/or don't want the added expense of offering
benefits.
8) Without other benefits like 401K, there is no provision for the
future and one's retirement.
