Start Your Beauty Goals in 2021

It’s no secret that 2020 didn’t go the way we planned but that doesn’t mean you need to hold off your plans for the future. In fact, the beginning of the new year could be the perfect opportunity to start a new career path. If quarantine helped you realize it’s time for a change, read our blog to find out why a career in beauty could be great for 2021 and how you can prepare for this next step!

Why Pursue a Career in Beauty?

It can be scary to pursue a new career, especially after all the uncertainties we’ve had this year. But if you love all things beauty and helping others, we think you deserve to pursue something that truly makes you happy. Along with doing something you love, there are plenty of reasons why 2021 could be a great time to start making a name for yourself in the industry!

Beauty Skills are In Demand

We’ve always known that beauty professionals learn in-demand skills that set them apart. That’s because clients don’t trust complicated hairstyles and colors to be performed by someone who’s just watched a video. Cosmetologists need training and beauty school is the place to get those irreplaceable skills.

When people first started quarantining, a common struggle we heard a lot of people dealt with was not being able to go to the salon. The term “quarantine hair” even became popular because clients realized the impact those few weeks made on their hair and overall self-confidence when they couldn’t visit their stylist. It showed beauty professionals how much their skills are valued and that there’s a lot of people who depend on what they can do.

Help Other People

With all that’s happened this year, a lot of people are wondering how they can help others in the new year. We don’t think there’s a better way to do this than through a career you love! That’s exactly what you would be doing as a beauty professional. Cosmetologists get to make a direct impact on people’s lives every day by giving them a new look and building up their self-esteem. It’s an amazing feeling to turn your client’s chair around and watch them light up because of the talents you’re able to share.

Take Control of Your Career

There weren’t a lot of things in our control in 2020 so it makes sense that a lot of people are craving a career that gives them a lot of freedom. Every career path in beauty looks different but it’s not uncommon for this industry to offer benefits that creative-minded people value. Flexible scheduling, mobility to move up and become your own boss, and multiple career opportunities are just some career advantages that people are looking for in 2021!

How Can I Prepare to Get Started

Even when you’re pursuing a career path that fits your goals, it can still feel intimidating when you’re just getting started. If you’re feeling fatigued from this year and applying for beauty school feels like too big of a step, break it down into smaller goals. Making small milestones will give you something to look forward to in your beauty journey without getting burnt out.

Not sure what goals you should make? These examples are a great starting point:
